Birthday Party Themes

Choose from a wide range of themes for your Aquarium Birthday Party!

Suitcase of Surprises (Ages 4-6)

Children will discover the unique ways that fish hide and protect themselves in the ocean as they participate in a great ocean survival game.

Penguin Palooza (Ages 4-6)

Party guests will be tickled to watch as the birthday boy or girl is turned into a penguin right before their eyes as they discover the wonders of these “birds that can’t fly”.

Hermit Crab Hideaway (Ages 4-6)

Through a fun interactive skit that utilizes the story A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle, props and a costume, party goers will discover how hermit crabs camouflage themselves while decorating a shell with sea anemones, sea stars, lantern fish and more! 

Ocean Locomotion (Ages 4-6)

Ocean animals have countless ways of moving from one place to another.  Some float, some use flippers, others walk sideways!  In this program, which includes a puppet show, the party will see if Rocky the rock crab or Octy the octopus can teach a confused baby beluga how to swim.

Explore the Shore (Ages 7-10)

The party becomes the setting for children to learn about the beautiful rocky shores of the Long Island Sound and investigate the native plants and animals that live there.

Beluga Blast (Ages 7-13)

Children will learn about the incredible physical and behavioral adaptations these charismatic marine mammals have for survival in their ocean habitat. 

Amazing Sharks (Ages 7-13)

In this program, children learn about many fascinating shark species, the adaptations they have for survival, and the conservation efforts that are underway to protect them.

Adventurous Amphibians and Reptiles Too (Ages 7-13)

This interactive party which delves into the fascinating world of reptiles and amphibians is perfect for any lovers of our scaly or slimy friends
