How steadfast are your

As we began clearing out space for the new Milne Ocean
Science and Conservation Center, we kept our mission in mind when it
came time to put up our grand holiday tree.
Keeping conservation at the forefront of our seasonal
decor, we decided to use a tree from our own plot of land where
construction for the new Center will begin in 2018. The natural
evergreen has a beautiful story to tell with it's unkempt limbs, wild
collection of pine cones and height towering over 18 feet above all
who gaze upon this Aquarium holiday icon.
When visiting with us this holiday season, be sure to
take a close look at our tree as you first enter our gates. We are
sure you'll appreciate the unique history of this tree as much as the
staff here at Mystic Aquarium.
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday
season!

Animal Spotlight: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
Rudolph, the holiday reindeer most famously known for
his shiny red nose, is a land-dwelling mammal with special
adaptations. A combination of holiday spirit, happiness and good
cheer allow him to actually fly high in the sky, guiding Santa's
sleigh through the night.
His diet consists of carrots (so many carrots!) and an
occasional cookie treat. When Rudolph isn't bulking up for his busy
season, he spends time at the North Pole playing reindeer games with
the rest of the deer.

Who can resist the waddle of a penguin, the bark of a
sea lion or the reach of an octopus? If you're anything like us
(and we know you are!), we are tireless in our efforts to care for
and protect the species here at the Aquarium as well as their
counterparts in the wild. Through our new and improved Animal Parent
program, you too can support these efforts.
As a loving Animal Parent, you can symbolically adopt a
seal, sea lion, sea turtle,  beluga, penguin or
octopus. With adoption levels starting at $75, benefits may include a
certificate of adoption, facts about your adopted species and a plush
animal. There is no better way to get involved with the conservation
of a species than by adoption through Animal Parent.
