Get ready for your coolest summer adventure yet – Living Shores Aquarium is open seven days a week from 10 AM to 6 PM, and there's more to explore than ever!
The BIG News? 🐊 They Have ALLIGATORS Now!
Living Shores just got a whole lot wilder. Their newest resident, Sequoia, is 6.5 feet long, weighs 120 pounds – and he’s still growing. You’ll find him in the alligator habitat alongside his companions, Allie, Callie, and Osceola. Kids can even size themselves up next to a gator growth chart.
Hands-On Experiences (Yes, You Can Touch the Stingrays!)
Kids and adults alike can roll up their sleeves and make some underwater friends – stingray feeding and touch tanks are a highlight for many families because why just look when you can touch the exhibits!
Nibble Fish Exhibit or is it a Spa Treatment at the Aquarium?
Make a pit stop at the Nibble Fish station, where tiny fish give your hands a surprising little exfoliation. The giggles are non-stop and a little squirmy!
Reptile Round-Up
From gentle tortoises to eye-popping green iguanas, there’s a lot more than sea creatures to meet here. Expect wide eyes and a lot of “Can we take him home?” questions.
Macaroni KID Insider Tips:
- Perfect for hot or rainy days – indoor, air-conditioned bliss
- Don’t miss the chance to design your own sea creature and watch it swim across the digital ocean wall
- Great for ages 2-12 (but let’s be real: adults love it too)
- Parking is free and shared with Story Land
Eat and Shop:
Whether you're hungry for breakfast, lunch, dinner – or just ice cream – The Bistro has you covered. Dunkin’, Gifford’s Ice Cream, and a full bar for the grownups are all on-site (check times before you go). And don’t leave without grabbing a cute plushie or ocean-themed souvenir from the gift shop!
🐠 Pro Tip: Make Living Shores your midday cool-off spot when you're at Story Land next door. It's just steps away, and a total lifesaver when the sun's blazing or the clouds roll in.
