This event has sold out. The following information is provided for members who have already purchased tickets.

The doors to the Aquarium will open at 7:00 p.m. We regret that members cannot remain in the lobby while the Aquarium is preparing for the event.

Grab a date and come celebrate Valentine’s Day (or just gather some friends to mark Friday the 13th). The $70 per person ticket will include:

• hors d’oeuvres;
• a strolling buffet dinner featuring Spring Brook raclette-stuffed portobello mushrooms*, Asian-style bang bang chicken, and a delicious shrimp paella;
• a limited open bar (a signature drink, wine, beer, soft drinks);
• coffee and dessert.

*vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free

Enjoy all this while dancing to (or just enjoying) the cool sounds of the Andy Baer Jazz Trio and basking in the atmospheric glow of a gorgeous Caribbean coral reef. Plus attendees will be entered into a special prize drawing to win one of five Aquarium experiences, including a kiss from a seal or a tour of our Animal Care Center in Quincy.

We don’t have a specific dress code for this event. We want you to feel comfortable, but think it will be fun to get a little dressed up.
