Sleep With the Fishes and More at Maritime Aquarium

You can sleep with the fishes — and the sharks, sea turtles, jellies and other creatures — on Friday, April 6 during a fun “Family Sleepover” at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. This night of special access is open to children age 5 and older with an accompanying parent or caregiver over age 18.

“‘Family Sleepovers’ let parents share with their children a deeper, more immersive Aquarium experience than is available during a typical visit,” said Aquarium spokesman Dave Sigworth. “Plus, it’s a more memorable, more personal experience because we cap capacity at 100 participants, and those 100 people have the whole Aquarium to themselves.”

After check-in at 6 p.m. and a tasty dinner, Aquarium educators fill the evening with a fun- and fact-filled behind-the-scenes tour, an IMAX® movie, snacks and more. “Lights out” is at 10:30 p.m. Participants sleep in sleeping bags (BYOSB) throughout the Aquarium galleries.
