Grab a tray of fish and accompany aquarists in hand-feeding stingrays in Stingray Bay and then head over to The Reef to get nose to nose with sharks, reef fish, and giant groupers! Finish the day by exploring behind-the-scenes and learning more about coral reef conservation, invasive species, and the hard work being done to conserve our oceans.
