Meet expert aquarist Matt Wilson and join him for a hands-on encounter with the cool, the wet, and the slimy by spending two hours as a member of the aquarium staff. Matt is a professional biologist who has a rare zest for strange and often overlooked creatures like jellyfish that make up so much of our ocean. Practice your observation skills, try your hand at preparing food and feeding animals, or even assist in animal healthcare. Activities will vary based on the real needs of the animals in our aquarium.
