If you are a member of the press working on assignment, please contact the media relations department to arrange a visit, set up interviews and/or receive press materials. Please allow at least two days of lead time prior to your planned visit. We do everything we can to accommodate requests of all media on assignment, but appreciate time to plan. If you are a freelance writer, please be prepared to supply tear sheets of your published work at the time of your request.

We have a limited number of tickets we may distribute under special circumstances to bona fide members of the press who are not working on assignment. Requests for these passes will be considered individually, and are granted at the discretion of the media relations team. Aquarium ticketing procedures prevent us from providing tickets without prior arrangement so requestions must be made through the media relations team at least 48 hours in advance.

Passes are for timed entry; we need to know which day and what time you will arrive. If you arrive late, and the Aquarium is busy, you may forfeit your tickets. Complimentary passes are limited to entries before 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m. on busy days, including holidays, and Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Requesting passes through email or voicemail does not guarantee they will be granted. You must seek express verbal or email confirmation from a member of the media relations team to confirm the tickets will be waiting for you.
