Dive into a prehistoric undersea adventure with our brand new, live performance starring life-size sea creature puppets. Join us as our amazing puppeteers and paleontologists bring these extinct animals to life.

Featuring a Plotosaur mosasaur and Ammonites, a Desmostylian in a kelp forest and a Megamouth eating Bioluminescent Plankton, Ocean Encounters will take you under the sea and into the prehistoric past.
