Program Description

Event Details

SeaQuest is excited to offer this educational outreach program featuring some of the most unique animals from around the world! This program is designed to present to guests of all ages a hands-on learning experience, up close and personal with a few of the most amazing creatures at SeaQuest!  

During this extraordinary presentation, audience members will get the chance to see, touch and experience several different animal species. (ex: tarantula, hissing cockroach, ball python, vinegaroon, bearded dragon, turtle, tortoise) This program was created to highlight and educate the public about the wildlife of our planet, and teach about the wonderful conservation efforts in place to protect endangered species and preserve their natural habitats. SeaQuest educators will also talk about environmental awareness issues such as deforestation and climate change, along with discussing the role we have in taking care of and protecting our animal friends, including our own household pets!
