Family outings are a no-go at the moment, but we can still have plenty of fun from home! OdySea Aquarium has launched three live webcams showcasing some of its most popular animals like sharks and sea lions, plus a variety of educational activities and videos. Gather up the whole family for some nautical nonsense!
Arizona’s most popular aquarium might be closed to the public for now, but its animals are still going about their usual antics. OdySea has put together a program with live cameras, educational activities, and q&a videos with staff to put a smile on your face during these hard times.
