During this one-hour show, children will get the chance to play in hands-on activities, sing songs, and read books all with the Barnegat Bay Mermaid! Catch up with Mermaid Brizo before she swims back to the sea!

Join us for this worldwide celebration of the ocean. Explore ways you can help keep it healthy and thriving for generations to come. There will be crafts, activities and keeper chats.

Discover what goes on behind the scenes at our aquarium.

Families affected by autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing or cognitive challenges, as well as guests requiring assistance for disabilities are invited to explore the aquarium before we open to the public. To create a sensory friendly environment there will be a decreased noise level, limited visual stimulation and less crowding.

Come learn about one of the world's most beloved sea creatures - the sea turtle! There will be keeper chats, activities, crafts and more!
