Sleeping with the Sharks

Groups can slumber in front of the 285,000-gallon Graveyard of the Atlantic tank, as sharks and other fish swim close by.  Your overnight stay includes time to tour the aquarium, two evening program activities, an evening snack, and breakfast the following morning.  This program is designed for private groups.

Participants must be ages 6 and older.

Evening program options:
 Turtles, alligators, snakes, sharks, touch tank talk, Ocean Jeopardy, night hike, or Gyotaku (fish printing).
