Celebrate your child’s birthday with a unique party at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island! Our two-hour birthday party package includes a fun-filled animal education program of your choice with a take-home craft, private use of our classroom facilities for refreshments and gifts exchange, and a self-guided tour through the Aquarium. The Aquarium does not provide food or decorations, but does provide an educational program, goodie bag for each child, classroom space, tables, and chairs. 

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, join us at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island for an overnight program that will have your group “swimming” with excitement for months! Groups can slumber in front of the 285,000-gallon Graveyard of the Atlantic exhibit, as sharks and other fish swim close by.  Your overnight stay includes time to tour the aquarium, two evening program activities, an evening snack, and breakfast the following morning.  This program is designed for private groups.
