Aquarium on Wheels is a unique program, in which we utilize live aquatic animals. In the event that the welfare of those animals is compromised, the Aquarium of the Pacific reserves the right to modify or even cancel a program. We will do everything in our power to keep your scheduled appointment with Aquarium on Wheels; however, if a situation does arise, be it a travel or animal issue, you will be notified as soon as possible and alternate arrangements will be made at that time.
