About this adventure

A self-guided visit covers the North Building, the South Building and the Nature Trail. The North Building has sea turtles, sand tiger and sandbar sharks in the Norfolk Canyon Aquarium, Komodo dragons in Restless Planet, harbor seals by the entrance, a ray touch pool and a Chesapeake Bay touch pool with hermit crabs, urchins and whelks. A window looks into the sea turtle rehab facility of the Stranding Response Program. Gallery programs are included with admission. Reserving tickets online is strongly recommended, and some exhibits may be closed for renovation. Active military and veterans get $2 off adult and youth tickets.
