The experiences begin Friday, June 5 and culminate on Monday, June 8 – officially recognized globally as “World Oceans Day.” The lineup covers a wide range of experiences for all ages including indoor, outdoor, time-scheduled and “anytime streaming.”
“Especially during this current pandemic, digital technology provides us access and connectivity to many of the educational and entertaining activities otherwise not available when we are closed,” said aquarium President and CEO Jason Patlis. “The ocean, however, is what truly connects us all. We are delighted to showcase how the ocean is a vital part of our lives during our ‘World Oceans Weekend’ celebration.”
The schedule of events kicks off Friday, June 5 at 6 p.m. with the aquarium’s first-ever virtual gala.
