Visitors to the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island can enjoy a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of the on-site animal hospital during this special tour that uncovers the first stop for animals who are arriving at the aquarium.
The North Carolina Aquarium’s quarantine serves as the site’s animal hospital as well as its holding area for new arrivals, and during this special event, visitors can learn all about the animals that temporarily reside here, as well as the steps that staff members take to ensure their safety, and to help bring sick animals back to health. There are an array of critters to discover, which changes with every tour, and visitors will learn how new animals come to the aquarium, and where they lived before their recent arrival. This event is open to all visitors ages 12 and up, and closed toe shoes are required to participate. Advance reservations can be made online, and are recommended as this tour is limited to smaller groups. With lots to see and explore, and tons of behind-the-scenes information that will fascinate visitors of all ages, this tour is a great way to learn a little bit more about one of the Outer Banks’ favorite attractions.
