Shimmering Seas Sleepover

Service Description

Experience the wonder of the ocean like never before with our Shimmering Seas Sleepover! This unique, overnight program is designed for scouts and guides to explore the glowing mysteries of bioluminescence. Dive into hands-on activities, glow-in-the-dark games, and illuminating discoveries as we uncover how and why certain sea creatures shine in the deep. Participants will enjoy exclusive after-hours access to the aquarium, a hands on experience with our touch tank, and a nighttime tour that brings the ocean to life in the dark.
