Visitors will learn a little bit about the varying species of resident rays before helping trained staff feed these creatures in the area’s touch tanks with a light snack breakfast. Afterwards, participants will be able to dine on a light breakfast of “people food” before continuing their exploration of the aquarium from top to bottom.
