Feeding times
Visitors love to watch our animals get their dinner. The tank around our Giant Pacific octopus draws crowds at feeding time - but it only happens a few days a week, so be sure to check our calendar before your visit.
Internet visitors can also watch the feeding and hear the presentation via our live, streaming OctoCam!
Please note: When new octopuses are in quarantine, we do not conduct public feedings.
