Nocturne Programs

Nocturne Program

Enjoy an overnight adventure at the Alaska SeaLife Center! Students will spend the evening honing observation skills and participating in hands-on marine science programs. At night they'll fall asleep with the seabirds, Steller sea lions and harbor seals. Each Nocturne Sleepover includes dinner, a light breakfast, free time to tour the Alaska SeaLife Center, and your choice of two programs. Nocturnes start at 5pm and last until 9am the next morning. See below for a list of the available programs.

Nocturnes at the SeaLife Center are available year-round and must be booked at least 30 days in advance.
