High School Career Day:
Aquarium Career Quest
Dive into the world of aquatic careers at our High School Career Day at the Aquarium! Students meet a variety of aquarium professionals—from aquarists to educators and guest experience staff—who share their career journeys, educational paths and tips on building resumes and preparing for college. This is a unique opportunity to explore the many roles that keep an aquarium thriving and to ask questions about what it takes to work in this exciting field.
The day features hands-on, interactive experiences including feeding stingrays, playing Aquarium Jeopardy, taking a biodiversity tour and watching an animal enrichment demonstration. Whether you’re passionate about marine life, curious about science careers or just love the ocean, this event offers inspiration, insight and fun for every student.
This program is recommended for students entering grades 9-12. If you are a middle school student interested in career programs, look here. Parents and siblings are welcome to purchase regular admission tickets for the same day, and are invited to self-tour the Aquarium galleries during the program.
