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
Daily 10 - 12, 2 - 4 p.m.
Our most popular attraction! Get up close to touch and feed our flappy friends. Hold a small piece of food between your knuckles and lower your hand into the water and our curious stingrays will swim over and slurp up their snack out of your hand.
TOUCH A MOON JELLY
This alien-looking creature is named for its translucent, moonlike bell. While many jellies pack quite a potent stinging punch, moon jellies have stinging cells that are not strong enough to penetrate human skin so guests are able to gently touch their bells.
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!
