Watch as the animals are fed and get your hands wet with a touch tank opportunity.

Dive Deeper is a monthly science program suitable for people of all ages. This program is an opportunity to talk with our animal exhibits staff directly to learn about WonderLab’s animal ambassadors and what it takes to care for animals from around the world. See a fully functioning ecosystem in action while you explore WonderLab’s 300 gallon coral reef aquarium with our care staff to guide you along the way.
The whole ocean is connected, from the sunny shallows to the deepest trenches. Through interactive demonstrations learn with us about how what we do here on land can affect the ocean and cooperatively problem solve to come up with solutions to the environmental issues the ocean faces every day.
Program details are subject to change depending on the needs of the animal ambassadors.
