Event Details
Glide into discovery… the ocean is coming to you. 🌊✨
Get ready for an up-close encounter with one of the sea’s most fascinating creatures. The Newport Aquarium’s WAVE Foundation is bringing live stingrays for a safe, interactive experience you won’t forget. Watch them glide, learn what makes them different from (and similar to) sharks, and discover the incredible adaptations that help them thrive in their underwater world.
Along the way, you’ll uncover how small actions can make a big difference in protecting ocean life. Packed with surprising facts, hands-on learning, and unforgettable moments, this is your chance to connect with the wonders of the sea—no beach required. 🐠💙
🏗️ PLEASE NOTE— Due to construction, this event will take place at an offsite location. We hope to see you there!
