Stingray Feeding Experience

Feed, Touch, and Train the Rays

Get closer to rays than ever before with exclusive, behind-the-scenes access during this 50-minute cownose stingray encounter.

Our educators will guide your small group for an up-close experience with our beautiful cownose stingrays. First, you’ll visit our commissary and help our team prepare fresh food for the rays. Then, you’ll get to feed, touch, and even train our stingrays — all while learning about their unique behaviors and habitats.

It’s an unforgettable opportunity to connect with these majestic sea creatures in a whole new way. You don’t want to miss it.

Important: A general admission ticket must be purchased for each program participant for the date of your Stingray Feeding Experience.
