Aquarium: Above the Shark Tank & Backstage Areas

$65.00

60 minutes, $65 (maximum 15 participants)

Tour offered 1:30pm, 3rd Fridays, May 20 and July 15

Aquarists will escort you behind-the-scenes to tour the quarantine room and the life support area, then take the elevator to the top of the 285,000 gallon ocean tank. Get a gull’s eye view of our sharks (sandtiger, blacktip,zebra and nurse), along with brilliantly colored reef fish, eels, sea turtles and other open ocean species. Learn about the care and feeding of the numerous aquatic and marine residents in the food preparation room, how water quality if ensured, and the nuances of the ABQ Aquarium’s program. And those “biting” questions you might have? This will be the perfect time to ask!
