Mystic Aquarium

Fall-O-Ween Fest returns to Mystic Aquarium on Oct. 20, 21, 27 and 28 with seasonal activities and entertainment set against a backdrop of the ocean’s dark and mysterious waters.

Lace up your sneakers and get ready to run, walk or waddle for the good of our feathered friends. Mystic Aquarium will hold its 6th Annual Penguin Run/Walk, a 5k run and two-mile walk, at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 13 to benefit the endangered African penguin.

Sea Research Foundation’s Mystic Aquarium now offers a seven-hour Trainer for a Day program where participants find out firsthand what it’s like to be a marine animal trainer. Perfect for animal lovers and students interested in pursuing a related career, the new program includes hands-on animal interactions and side-by-side learning experiences with Mystic Aquarium’s beluga whale, California sea lion and African penguin trainers.

It is with great sadness that Sea Research Foundation’s Mystic Aquarium reports that Kodiak, a 15-year-old male Steller sea lion, passed away today.
