Events

Avoid the crowd by visiting on the first Saturday and first Sunday of the month. Our First Saturdays and First Sundays program allows visitors with special needs and their guests to enter 30 minutes before the Aquarium opens to the general public.

The National Aquarium celebrates our Deaf Awareness Day every spring and fall. The dates for 2009 are:

• Saturday, March 14, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Saturday, September 12, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Sign language interpreters will be narrating our public presentations, including animal feedings, dive presentations, and other public educational programs. Representatives from deaf advocacy groups will be available to meet with visitors and discuss their activities in the community.

To receive discounted admission on Deaf Awareness Day, please contact the Aquarium's Special Customer Liaison.
