Here’s your chance to meet the Aquarium’s animal training team and get insider knowledge. We train otters, birds, alligators, turtles and even fish! It’s skilled, careful work for our trainers. However, for the animals each training session is a chance to learn, play and enjoy treats. Learn about positive reinforcement training and how Aquarium experts use it to help animals be willing, comfortable participants in their own care. These same techniques can be used to enrich the lives of your pets! Meet one of our ambassador animals and see positive reinforcement training in action. Play a training game with our experts—if they can get an alligator to eat politely, what will they ask YOU to do?
