Feedings & Experiences
GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
When participating in feedings and touch experiences, please follow our staff instructions to ensure the safety of our animals.

STING RAY INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
Connect with our friendly rays with this one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience. Reach out and gently touch the back and 'wings' of these creatures as they glide through their habitat. We clip the barbs on their tails (like fingernails), so they are safe to touch. Our staff will show you our 2-finger touch method.

INTERACTIVE TIDEPOOL EXPERIENCE
Visit Shoreline Touchpools and learn fascinating fun facts about sea stars, cleaner shrimp, anemones and more! Touch pools allow for a close up, hands on interaction with our marine life.

MINE FOR TREASURES
Did you know fossil records indicate Louisiana used to be at the bottom of a great ocean? Hunt for treasure, gems, fossilized shark teeth, ancient marine specimens, and then learn about them with our own field experts. Learn more!

SNAPPING TURTLE FEEDINGS
Our turtles have now entered their fall/winter brumation phase, which is a reptile form of hibernation where they slow down and do not eat.
Check back in the spring for our ravenous reptile feed times
