Meet a zookeeper
Meeting place in the LobbyJoin a zookeeper who will feed, activate or train various animals. The zookeeper chooses an activity based on what is happening at the Aquarium that day. It can be anything from playing with sea lions and otters, to feeding piranhas, seahorses and jellyfish.
Deliver the pacifier
Our carp love to be visited by children who are ready to quit using pacifiers. So it's a special thrill to be able to donate their pacifier to our lively carp gang! As a reward for good effort we issue the child with a diploma and the child gets to feed the fish.

"Night at the Aquarium"

Otter

They also do well in water and waterways, and occasionally you can even meet them high up in the mountains.
