Good morning! Due to a power outage the Flint Riverquarium will be closed until noon today, Dec. 26th.

We have some exciting updates happening here at the Flint RiverQuarium! Thanks to the generosity of some loyal Flint RiverQuarium supporters, our Spring Run Creek alligator exhibit, as well the Skywater and Blue Hole viewing windows, are undergoing facelifts. Aquatic Solutions from Campbell, California, has buffed and polished the viewing windows and is currently completing a major renovation on the alligator exhibit to repair leaks and improve the exhibit for both visitors a...nd resident gators. The alligator exhibit was drained, and the alligators were temporarily moved behind the scenes so that the entire exhibit could be completely dismantled. This process required a crane to lift the 4,000-pound and 8,000-pound acrylic windows up and over the Flint RiverQuarium walls. The acrylic was then buffed, put back in place via crane, and resealed. Once the renovation is complete, the exhibit will be refilled with water and the alligators will be re-introduced to their home. We look forward to unveiling these changes to our guests very soonwatch for updates! See more

Who says you can’t practice social distancing and still have fun? We’ve been thinking up ways to make that happen for this Saturday’s Boo at the Zoo at Chehaw Park & Zoo. As promised, here is the finished producta snake slide candy chute! Candy will travel through the tube to the trick-or-treater. See our story for the snake slide in action!

Educator Rachel is working on something to add some fun AND help everyone social distance at Saturday’s Boo at the Zoo at Chehaw Park & Zoo. Can you guess what it is? Hint: Think candy delivery system! We’ll share the answer tomorrow!

Special thanks to Jack from Safety Max who came out this afternoon to lead our staff in fire extinguisher training. Just one more way to ensure the safety of guests visiting the Flint RiverQuarium and our Artesian Alliance partner sites, Chehaw Park & Zoo and Thronateeska Heritage Center!
