Watch with your family as Danny and Mary explore OdySea Aquarium. Show your kids what to expect, talk about any concerns, and plan around potential sensory issues.
Prepare best by knowing when, where and how to go.
Sensory Scale uses 1 – 10 scoring, with 10 being maximum sensory input.
Lots of touching, crawling, coloring, and building opportunities with touch tanks and play available throughout the aquarium.
When visiting the touch tanks, please use two fingers to gently touch the animals. Be sure to wash your hands both before and after.
There is a quiet patio near Starbucks. If you do wish to leave the aquarium for some fresh air with an intention to return, please let a Guest Relations Team Member know at the Concierge Desk prior to leaving.
The OdySea interpreters know A LOT about animals and they love sharing knowledge. Encourage your kiddo to ask questions.
The lobby has been updated with a 360-degree screen and immersive video experience. Now it feels like you are in the ocean the second you step inside! The video shows playful otters, beautiful fish, and sharks.
To move through the immersive lobby experience more quickly, consider purchasing your tickets online in advance.
The ocean smell is strong when you walk in, but your nose adjusts to it quickly. The patio near Starbucks offers a break if needed.
OdySea Aquarium offers a quiet room near Penguin Point for any guest who needs a break. Just ask any staff member.
