OdySea Aquarium is turning 10! 🎉🐠

Ten years. Thousands of animals. Countless unforgettable moments. And one BIG birthday celebration!

Celebrate a decade of discovery, adventure, and amazing aquatic animals at OdySea Aquarium. 🦈✨

Did you know OdySea has been an inclusive Pal Place for nearly 8 years? Not long after opening, OdySea prioritized making sure guests with developmental disabilities and their families could enjoy a visit. We think that is pretty amazing. 🌟

Guests can watch a video social story before their visit to help them know what to expect and feel more prepared. OdySea also offers tools on-site to support sensory needs, communication, and more.
