Item Description
Mystic Aquarium's Beluga Encounter is a hit among guests. Participants put on waterproof gear and wade waist-deep into the Arctic Coast exhibit with the whales and trainers. This program is designed to help guests better understand and connect with these magnificent animals through an up close experience, and is a great opportunity to learn more about them, their habitat and conservation of the species.
This 60-minute program begins in the Beluga Encounter Room where guests meet a whale trainer and learn about the belugas at the aquarium and in the wild, as well as training concepts and current conservation issues. From there, they are led to the Arctic Coast exhibit, home to New England’s only beluga whales and one of the largest beluga whale exhibits in North America. The program takes place on the exhibit’s "beach," an area typically accessed by staff only.
Participants will experience what it’s like to touch and feel a beluga. Aquarium trainers will explain how we care for the whales and demonstrate the way in which Interactive sessions are beneficial to the whale’s health and well-being.
