Quick Guide for your SeaQuest Visit!

Whether you are a first-time SeaQuest guest or a seasoned visitor, this guide will offer a comprehensive overview of all SeaQuest offers on ticket prices, animal interactions, and other unique experiences. SeaQuest offers something memorable for everyone, no matter what age you are. 

What is SeaQuest?

With over seven locations across the US, SeaQuest is one of the most unique, thrilling, and interactive attractions you’ll ever visit! The ultimate land and sea adventure, SeaQuest offers hands-on encounters that let you connect with animals and wildlife from around the globe! Whether it’s hand-feeding birds, petting reptiles, or hanging out with turtles, an unforgettable experience awaits that will create memories to last a lifetime. You can even snorkel with stingrays with your friends or family! They provide everything you need, from the wetsuit to snorkeling gear and rays of all sizes! 

What sets SeaQuest apart from any other zoo or aquarium? The number of exciting encounters allows guests to interact with animals one-on-one! Visitors are encouraged to have an up close and personal experience with a variety of species. You’ll be able to touch the animals and directly hand-feed them treats! You’ll also learn about protecting endangered animals and conserving the planet. 

How to Feed the Animals at SeaQuest

Feeding our animals snacks allows them to get the best enrichment from our Team Members and guests. Foraging for food is what animals do in the wild, and it has been a popular trend to give our household pets feeding devices to stimulate their minds more. SeaQuest animals get enrichment by foraging from the guests and giving them supplemental snacks.

Feeding tokens are used for feeding our animals or reserving a spot for an animal encounter! and interacting with our animals! Feeding tokens aren’t a required purchase, but they will elevate your experience to a whole different level. One token equals about one cup of food. We offer various token packages and recommend purchasing at least 10-16 tokens per visit. Feeding Tokens never expire. They are good any time, any day!

Please note: SeaQuest tokens can be purchased in-store or on our website. Tokens are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash. SeaQuest is not responsible for lost or stolen tokens, so please keep them secure.

• Sharks (Horn sharks, Nurse sharks and Blacktip Reef sharks)

What is a Standard interaction vs a Premium interaction?

Standard interactions include animals that require about 1-5 feeding tokens that consist of smaller animals like our fish, parakeets, chickens, reptiles, toucans, armadillos, etc. 

Our premium interaction animals are a little longer and include educational hand feedings with mammals like our two-toed sloth, Asian small-clawed otters, a porcupine, and our wallabies. Premium interactions could also include other unique experiences, such as our fishy kisses interaction, where you dip your feet in a tank of doctor fish, and our snorkeling sessions with our shark and stingray friends.
