Disclosure: Throughout our blog, we share local events and businesses that we are often hosted at. Although our family is hosted at events and attractions in exchange for my time and efforts in attending and reporting my opinion within this blog, I always give an opinion that is 100% mine.
Are you looking for activities to enjoy with your family this summer? Do you have or know children that love animals? Plan an adventure to SeaQuest in Folsom, CA. Located in the Palladio at Broadstone shopping area, our family had the pleasure of visiting recently and we built memories sure to last a lifetime. This was not our first visit to SeaQuest, we were pleasantly surprised by NEW interactions such as the Fishy Kisses experience.
Have you ever seen those fish tanks where people place their feet in them? That is the Fishy Kisses Experience! We were full of giggles, as we are all quite ticklish, after the first ticklish moments, it is quite relaxing!
SeaQuest is such a unique interactive learning experience! You'll learn about all types of animals, sea creatures, birds, fish and so much more. As a parent, I was really impressed by how much discovery and learning takes place, our kiddos were able to ask a ton of questions. Ranging in age from 6 to 14 our boys were fascinated by each animal they didn't realize they were also learning. You really become immersed so much more than most zoos or aquariums because of the ability to touch, pet, feed, and interact at each exhibit.
At SeaQuest you will see, touch, and feed all sorts of fish, birds, rabbits, a giant tortoise, Sydney the Sloth, and of course as the name SeaQuest indicates a variety of other sea creatures. On this visit, two of our boys swam with Sting Rays and sharks, such a unique experience. They put on wet suits and climbed in the Sting Ray tank to snorkel and even come up close with a baby great white shark.
We loved feeding the playful Sea Otters, they will eat pieces of fish right from your hand! We also LOVED feeding the adorable Sydney the Sloth and the Sassy Porcupine. So fun learning about each of the animals' habitats and personalities.
Conveniently located, SeaQuest immerses you in a complete world of adventure. With exhibits packed to the gills with flashy fish, brightly-colored birds, riveting reptiles and more, it’s a splash of adventure for families and kids of all ages.
There are themed rooms that you walk in such as the Amazon Rainforest room, The Fantasy Caves of New Zealand, The Egyptian Desert Room, Caribbean Cove and more. Throughout the rooms, you will find signs with cool facts such as "Creature Feature" and "Where in the World?" information. Some signs and TV's feature slides with "Did You Know?" facts and information about the exhibit.
Summer break is a great time to visit, it is indoors, a great way to escape the Sacramento heat. I do recommend scheduling a tour, especially if you plan on doing some of the extra experiences such as Fishy Kisses, or Swimming with Sting Rays. All of the tour guides are so informative, friendly, and helpful.
We stayed for about four hours, my kiddos could have wandered through as long as I would have let them. You can purchase tokens to purchase food to feed the animals. If you take a tour, some tokens will be provided for you.
