Does the thought of seeing slithering snakes, walking through an alligator infested swamp or coming face to face with big, toothy sharks send shivers down your spine? Relax and embrace the critter jitters. That’s what the Aquarium’s month-long celebration – Thrills, Gills and Chills – is all about. You can even create your own coupon and customize a monster of a deal when you bundle the Aquarium, IMAX and the River Gorge Explorer.

Throughout October, enjoy special keeper talks, costumed divers and animal encounters designed to bring you up close to nature’s most feared and often most misunderstood animals.
