Peter the Turtle’s Birthday Bash

September 22, 2024   |   10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Join us for a special birthday shell-ebration! We’re throwing a party for Peter the Turtle, our beloved aquarium resident, and the inspiration behind our Aquatic Ambassador mascot, Pete. Peter is a western-painted turtle who has lived at the museum since we opened at Coral Ridge Mall 25 years ago!

Get ready for a day filled with turtle-themed activities, including a scavenger hunt, a turtle-y cool photo op, and making Peter a special birthday card. Enjoy exciting giveaways, discounts on Pete merch in our gift shop, and more fun surprises throughout the day! Guests are also invited to wear green to show their support for our favorite turtle friend.

Event activities are included with museum admission; free for members!
