Sip Craft Beer Under the Sea at Sea Life Orlando’s New Fins and Flights Event

Sea Life Orlando is hosting Fins and Flights, a unique after-hours event for adults featuring local craft breweries and marine animal exhibits.
Following the success of family-friendly seasonal events like the jaw-some Summer of Sharks and the highly immersive Meet a Mermaid experiences (which proved popular when the mermaid event returned to Orlando), Sea Life Orlando Aquarium is diving into a new adventure geared entirely toward adults. This September, Sea Life Orlando Aquarium is inviting guests to experience the aquarium like never before during Fins & Flights, an adults-only, after-hours event pairing local craft beer tastings with an immersive evening among thousands of sea animals.

Taking place Sept. 3-5 from 7-10 p.m., the experience invites guests ages 21 and older to explore the aquarium after dark while sampling beers from Central Florida’s breweries and beyond. Along the way, guests can encounter sharks, turtles, rays, axolotls, seahorses and more. Admission includes five 4-ounce beer samples, with one selection from each participating brewery, along with a commemorative Fins and Flights souvenir tasting glass. Participating breweries and beverage partners include:
- Tampa Bay Brewing
- Orange Blossom
- Crooked Can
- Ivanhoe Park

“Fins & Flights offers guests a unique way to experience SEA LIFE Orlando by pairing the wonder of the aquarium with the creativity of Central Florida’s craft brewery scene,” said Paul Gould, general manager of Sea Life Orlando Aquarium. “Whether guests are discovering sea animals from a new perspective or enjoying a night out with friends, it’s an unforgettable evening unlike any other in Orlando.”

Tickets are $59.99 per person when purchased in person or $54.99 per person when purchased online in advance. A designated-driver ticket is available for $20 and includes aquarium admission only.
