Seward, Alaska (June 4, 2020) –The Alaska SeaLife Center (ASLC) will be open to the public five days a week during June. 

The June schedule will be as follows:

●       Mondays - 10:00am-5:00pm

●       Tuesdays - closed

●       Wednesdays - closed

The last visitor entry is one hour before closing. Due to hourly capacity limits, online reservations are strongly encouraged to ensure ticket availability. Tickets can be purchased at the door; however, if capacity is not immediately available, visitors may have to wait for a later entry time. Members have received information by email on how to reserve member tickets.

The Center will continue to implement enhanced health and safety measures to safeguard guests, staff, and animals. Precautions are being refined to enhance the guest experience while maintaining safety. The touch tank, a visitor favorite, is now open with modifications to enable visitors to maintain social distancing. The fishing boat play structure and tours will remain closed, although limited tours are expected to return at the end of June.

After a successful reopening to the public on May 20, the Center will continue to modify operations as COVID-19 evolves. “After just two weeks of being open, we have seen so much support from our fellow Alaskans,” said Tara Riemer, ASLC President and CEO. “The health, safety, and wellbeing of every guest, staff member, and animal is still our utmost priority, but we are thrilled to continue our mission by delivering a world-class experience for visitors.”
