For those attending on Saturday, You will be meeting out in front of the aquarium entrance by the flagpole/Light pole area. Joe(Twizted1) will be on site @ 11:00am, Please look for him.
The aquarium is expecting us around 11:30am, please be there and ready to enter around this time as Joe may have to pass out tickets. The normal meeting gift card raffle for premium members will be done prior to entering the Aquarium as it is self guided and some may leave before others or wish to spend more time at certain attractions so taking head count and doing everything prior to entering would be easiest.
The Aquarium has slated the Behind the Scenes tour for 12:00pm, you will be meeting in the lobby as one group for this. Please be sure to be there 10 minutes prior to start.
The aquarium is self guided, and expected to take between 2 and 2.5 hours to complete. You are free to stay as long or as little as you'd like. They will close at 6:00pm and admittance is good till then.
Please prepare for parking arrangements and possible need for change to get in and out of the lots as required.
