A whole-facility rental includes exclusive access to our entire public gallery, the event room, and outdoor deck space. Whole-facility rentals can accommodate up to 300 people and are ideal for weddings and large parties. Rentals are available after normal operating hours. Early closure to the general public is available for an additional fee.
In this hands-on encounter, guests will have the opportunity to physically interact with marine invertebrates like sea stars, sea urchins, and hermit crabs while learning about these interesting animals.
