Have you ever wondered what goes on at the aquarium in the early-morning hours before we open? In this fun, family program, you'll uncover the mystery of all the things that need to be done to keep aquarium animals healthy in their exhibit homes.

You'll make toys for our otters, prepare the touch pool for visitors, and examine stuffed animals for ailments in our "animal lab." You'll even get a chance to serve breakfast to a few of our critters.

This hour-long adventure, for families with children ages 3 to 9, is a great way to start your aquarium visit.

I took my grandchildren and now they want to do it every week.
