Experience what it is like to work as an Aquarist as you spend a few hours of your day working with our staff behind the scenes. Prepare food for the box turtles, visit and interact with animal ambassadors, and prep food for the largest exhibit in the Aquarium. Once meals are prepared, observe the fish and sharks feast in the 285,000-gallon Graveyard of the Atlantic exhibit. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get a little "fishy."

Venture behind the scenes of the Aquarium’s 285,000-gallon Graveyard of the Atlantic exhibit to observe one of the weekly shark feedings.  Participants will not be able to assist with the shark feeding, but will get an up-close look as all of the fish and sharks feast on favorite food.
