Hollywood vs. Reality: Discovering the True Nature of Sharks
How much do you really know about sharks beyond what you’ve seen in the movies? Hollywood doesn’t paint the whole picture, so we’re here to help you dive deeper into understanding these often misunderstood creatures. Each shark species is unique, and this special program will teach you all about their individual characteristics and the top-notch care they receive at our park. Plus, you’ll be making a splash in marine conservation efforts — 5% of the proceeds from the Shark Interaction program support the Guy Harvey Foundation, dedicated to scientific research and educational programs to save our oceans.
