BIG NEWS! You Say it's your Birthday? It's our Birthday Too! 2010 Marks Our 10th Birthday! Can you believe we're 10? Neither can we! We are so thrilled to have reached this milestone, and what better way to celebrate our birthday, but by honoring yours!
Here’s how the promotion works: Beginning June 15, 2010 and ending June 14, 2011, Atlantis Marine World is offering guests a one-day regular Aquarium Admission ticket to any patron during the week of his or her birthday (7 days prior or past). Simply show proper ID (a driver’s license, government-issued photo ID, or a government-issued passport). Guests under 18 without proper ID need to show an original or certified copy of their birth certificates. And that’s all there is to it!
PLUS, on your next visit, don't forget to bring along a photo from one of your past visits. We will post it on our 10-foot-high birthday logo and keep it on display all-year-long!

BRAND NEW! Hot, Cool Summer Fun - Are you Ready to Meet a Penguin? Penguin Encounter Daily; 11:00am, 1:30pm, 3:30pm Ever wonder what it’s like to be up close to a penguin? Maybe what their feathers feel like? Or even how some are able to live in a climate similar to ours, while others enjoy a much colder climate similar to that of Antarctica? Now you can find out with Penguin Encounter – a brand new, once-in-a-lifetime, interactive opportunity to have a close up encounter with an African Penguin and learn how our animal experts care for these playful birds.
The 45-minute program will be comprised of a few different elements – first, guests will experience the inner workings of the Penguin Pavilion exhibit, then they will learn how staff cares for the exhibit’s current residents, and finally they will meet one of the Aquarium’s newest arrivals and stars of the Encounter – one of the three penguin chicks that haven’t quite moved into the exhibit just yet! Guests will enter Penguin Preschool and see the chick waddle, swim, even shake its tail feathers. In fact, the penguin will be walking freely among the group, perhaps even allowing guests to touch and pet it. After this unforgettable interaction, photos will be permitted to capture this unique meet-and-greet moment forever.
Price: $50.00, all ages ($45.00 for Aquarium Members) Note: General Aquarium Admission required and cost is separate. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Children under 5 are not permitted.
