There are several interactive exhibits as well, including a horseshoe crab touch tank and a stingray touch and feel tank. Families will love programs such as Marine Biologist for a Day, Storytelling time, and overnight adventure. The aquarium is also home to an amazing restaurant that wraps itself around a 150,000 gallon tank and offers incredible views of rays, sawfish, guitarfish, and more. Adults can also enjoy the Dive Lounge, which has a happy hour every Monday through Friday. License divers and novice snorkelers can swim in the big tanks for a fee on Saturdays.
