There's tons to see and do at this aquarium, but one of the most popular exhibits here is the Passages of the Deep, which includes three underwater tunnels: Orford Reef, Halibut Flats, and Open Sea.
These tunnels are submerged right in the middle of large tanks that are home to all kinds of sea creatures, including bat rays, smaller fish of all sizes and colors, and even sharks. You'll be fascinated by the three tunnels, each of which highlights a different ocean ecosystem.
You can really immerse yourself in Passages of the Deep when you join The Oregon Coast Aquarium for its Sleep in the Deep overnight sleepovers. Bring your sleeping bag and pillow, and bed down right inside one of the tunnels.
Knowledgeable staff will tell you all about the marine life that's surrounding you, and you'll participate in several hands-on activities during your sleepover.
Your Sleep in the Deep experience includes dinner and a continental breakfast in the morning. You'll also enjoy admission to the aquarium on the day after your sleepover.
There are two ways to enjoy Sleep in the Deep: in a private group sleepover, or during one of the Aquarium's public family sleepovers. Public family sleepover dates for 2019 are June 15, July 20, July 27, August 17, August 31, and November 30. These events fill up fast, so reserve your spot soon.
Host a private Sleep in the Deep party with 20-60 of your friends and family members. A sleepover at the aquarium is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday!
