Beluga Interaction Program
Enter the water right beside our graceful, white beluga whales. You, along with other park guests, can touch and feed them as animal trainers share some techniques they use to communicate with these warm-hearted residents of the cold Arctic waters. Few places in the world offer such an up-close, unique interaction with these animals. This rare opportunity is limited to just a few guests each day.

Trainer led in-water interaction with a Beluga Whale
Behind-the Scenes tour of Wild Arctic to include the walrus, polar bear and beluga habitats

Shower facility with provided soap, shampoo, hair dryers and a personal locker
