Dive with the sharks

Not a certified diver? Don’t worry.  You can become an Aquarist for a day and feed the stingrays, shark, or turtle in their Animal Encounters program, or just spend a relaxing day at the aquarium.

Spend a day at the spa

You want this. You do.  Grab your honey and head over to one of the spas on this list. You won’t regret it.
