Sleep in the Deep - Large Group Request Form

Did you know that lemurs can sleep 16 hours per day? Or that octopuses can change color in their sleep? Learn more about how we care for our animals, such as lemurs, octopus, and sharks as we Sleep in the Deep!

Program Info:

A Standard Sleep in the Deep program includes a guided program with an aquarium educator, an evening snack, Scavenger Hunt After-Dark, and light breakfast. The VIP Experience Add-On extends your morning with us and allows for a behind-the-scenes look as we help wake up the wildlife. All participants must be ages 6+; we ask for a minimum of one adult (18+) per 10 children.

Standard Overnight: $75 per participant

VIP Overnight: $95 per participant

A minimum of 20 participants are required to book a Large Group overnight. Our current maximum is 60. (Groups larger than 60 are encouraged to book more than one program.)

Sleep in the Deep iron-on patches may also be purchased at $3/patch, no minimum necessary. Patches will be distributed concluding your program.
Please fill out this interest form for our Sleep in the Deep overnight program. This form does not guarantee or confirm an overnight.

Due to high demand, response time for booking requests may take longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience.
