Throughout the week, guests can enjoy a variety of shark-themed experiences included with aquarium admission, including:

As an added bonus, the first 20 children ages 2–12 through the doors each day during Shark Week will receive a free shark-themed party pack with paid admission or membership.

Guests can also discover Yoko, the aquarium’s famous swell shark whose remarkable birth without a male present attracted international attention and continues to intrigue scientists studying whether the event was caused by parthenogenesis or delayed fertilization.

For guests looking to continue the adventure, the Red River Treasure Mine will once again feature the popular Megalodon Tooth Challenge, where visitors can search for fossilized shark teeth and treasures while one lucky guest each week discovers a giant Megalodon tooth replica.

From learning how sharks detect prey using electrical fields to discovering why stingrays are actually close relatives of sharks, Shark Week offers opportunities for visitors of all ages to explore one of the ocean’s oldest and most remarkable groups of animals.
