“Want to sleep over tonight?”
If the luminous jellies, sharks and sea stars at the Aquarium of the Pacific could speak, that’s exactly what they might be asking you, at this point.
Tonight is the Aquarium’s “Holiday Family Sleepover“, when you and your family are invited to bring sleeping bags and comfortable sleepwear, and spend the evening camped out among the Aquarium’s incredible sea creatures!
A scavenger hunt, a chance to participate in a fish feeding, and the opportunity to paint your own souvenir T-shirt will all be part of the adventure. And once it’s time to turn in, everyone gets to curl up on the floor of the Tropical Reef/Northern Pacific exhibit. A pizza dinner, evening snack and early-morning breakfast on Monday will all be part of the experience.
Online reservations are not available for this particular program, but you can find out more by calling (562) 590-3100. Meanwhile, information on what to bring is available here.
