Have you ever dreamed of sleeping with sharks? ZZZs in the Seas brings that dream to life! You can slumber surrounded by sharks, stingrays, seahorses, and all 10,000 of our amazing animals! The fun-filled night begins with check-in at 6:30 p.m. and includes a light snack, drinks, a self-guided scavenger hunt, a flashlight tour, a movie & sweet, sea-themed dreams!

If sharks aren’t your idea of relaxing sleep, you can book a space next to many other fantastic exhibits.
Have breakfast with the creatures of the sea before the adventure ends at 8 a.m., followed by guest pickup.
