Visitor Tips
Arrive early (within 30 minutes of opening) to see animals at their most active
Download the facility map in advance to plan your route efficiently
Visit feeding demonstrations - they're usually the best time to see marine life up close
Touch tank experiences are most enjoyable during off-peak hours
Bring snacks and take breaks - hungry kids don't enjoy exhibits as much
Check weather forecasts - Pacific weather can be unpredictable
AZA-accredited facility - highest standards for animal care and conservation
Best photos: Overcast days reduce glare, morning light is softer than afternoon
