Our oceans are home to more then 1,000 species of shark. Join us for an annual educational and fun day to celebrate some of the most successful creatures in history. Visitors will be able to learn through hands-on activities that cover shark anatomy, evolution, morphology and ecology.
This is an event for all ages. The kid zone will feature a multitude of shark themed crafts, games and a chance to be a real life paleontologist and dig for shark teeth and bones! Guests will be able to see and feel shark skin, watch the birth of a ray, make a shark tooth necklace (extra fee).
This year, we asked you to choose one to serve as the Shark Fest Ambassador for 2022. You chose the largest fish in the world – the whale shark.
Here’s a sneak peak from last year
