Hang out with a fantastic feathered friend and participate in their training session.
During your Feathered Friends Animal Encounter, you will meet one of the Aquarium’s amazing animal ambassador birds.
You’ll have an up close view of the adaptations that help them survive in their natural habitat and participate in a training session with an expert animal trainer. Your encounter also includes a photo op with an Aquarium exhibit as a beautiful backdrop. This encounter takes place before we open, giving you exclusive access to an ambassador animal bird that is only viewable during shows and special events.
