Opened in March 2012, the Aquarium Education Center (AEC) is the Aquarium’s lecture hall. Located right behind the Aquarium, the center is open during the same hours. The AEC also has audio/visual capabilities and can be reserved for natural science lectures, seminars, and marine science educational programs.
