## About

Located inside the Boulevard Mall on Maryland Parkway, SeaQuest Las Vegas provides an immersive, 20,000-square-foot interactive petting zoo and walk-through aquarium that connects families with wildlife from five distinct global biomes. Designed to encourage gentle, hands-on learning, SeaQuest allows children to feed and interact directly with over 1,200 animals representing 300 diverse species. Winter visits offer a warm, climate-controlled indoor refuge where kids can feed leafy greens to giant African sulcata tortoises, hold vibrant Australian rainbow lorikeets on their arms, pet silky smooth stingrays in the touch lagoons, and watch playful Asian small-clawed otters splash in their aquatic habitat. Specialized VIP animal encounters allow families to step inside enclosures with friendly wallabies, sloths, and Bengal cats under the supervision of knowledgeable animal care specialists.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible flat mall corridors and broad interior zoo pathways easily accommodate strollers, wheelchairs, and family carts.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Bench seating positioned throughout animal viewing exhibits; mall family lounges and clean restrooms with baby changing tables directly adjacent to the entrance.
• Age Suitability: Highly engaging for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school children who thrive on tactile, hands-on animal interactions.
• Sensory Tips: Tactile sensory experience with opportunities to touch animal fur, feathers, and scales; birds can be vocal during feeding times; hand-washing stations with warm water are located in every gallery.
