Harbor Seal Splash: The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center’s Harbor Seal Splash is the only program in the United States that allows visitors to interact with harbor seals.

Seals Behind the Scenes Program
A variation of Seal Splash, this program is one hour long, available to children ages 3 and up, and offers an up-close opportunity to touch the seals.

The seals' new season opens after Memorial Day Weekend 2010 — ask us about reserving your own Seal Splash experience! More details will be available later this spring.
