Aquarium Behind the Scenes at Sitka
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. SAFETY NOTES: Recommended for ages 8 and up. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the historic nature of our building, this experience is NOT fully ADA accessible. Participants should be able to climb stairs and stand for the duration of the experience. Wear closed-toed shoes and clothes that can get wet or dirty. No food or drinks are permitted during this experience.
