Holiday at the Aquarium

The Aquarium is closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Otherwise, the Aquarium is open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. throughout the holiday season - including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Both on-site and online Gift Shops offer unique, eco-conscious souvenirs that make excellent holiday gifts. Other options include the Adopt-an-Animal program, where individuals can “adopt” one of six popular animals, such as an otter, sea turtle or shark for a year, which helps feed and care for Aquarium animals.
