Animal attraction spices up NC Aquarium Valentine’s event Feb. 9

Pine Knoll Shores, NC Jan. 14, 2013 – Valentine’s Day is coming and love is in the air – and water – at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. On Saturday evening, Feb. 9, Seduction in the Seas takes an intimate and educational look at romance rituals in the wild kingdom.

Participants explore the Aquarium at their own pace, stopping along the way to choose from a wide variety of amusing games and activities related to wildlife wooing techniques. Gourmet coffees and decadent desserts in front of the Living Shipwreck provide a break in the action and a sweet reward. The grand finale is a chance to show off knowledge of animal amore and win prizes in the Mating Game quiz competition.

You must be age 18 or older to partake of this after-hours, adults-only event. Activities work best when done in pairs so bring a spouse, a sweetheart or a friend to share the fun.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and activities begin at 7 p.m. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Tickets are $20 per person. Members enjoy a 10 percent discount. Daily admission tickets, complimentary daily passes and other discounts do not apply. Register online, by phone or stop by the Visitor Services desk.
