From 7 to 10 p.m., guests will create unforgettable memories at this totally tubular event! 

In addition to a memorable roller-skating experience, AquaSkate guests will enjoy live entertainment, signature food and drinks, and access to the Capybara Chillout exhibit at the Aquarium. Throughout the evening, visitors can explore various marine life habitats, including dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays and other fascinating residents.   

Guests who purchase VIP tickets will also have access to a VIP Only Party in the ballroom, which will feature arcade games. Challenge your family to these classic games, all the while grooving to the beats of iconic ‘80s tunes.
