 Topic: The Gateway Aquarium Tour
Posted: March 08 2006 at 4:09pm |
|
Perhaps this has already been done, but I would be interested in a "behind the scenes" tour of the Aquarium at the gateway. Is there anyone that could arrange some kind of behind the sceens tour as well as question and answer session with whomever is over all the tanks?

Maybe.....
But, can you remind me in a few weeks? I have a ton of stuff coming up.
Unless someone else can hook him up?
Would you consider buying a year pass when we are there? They reli on volunteers and donations..

Ok, so I can approach them as this group of people who want to support
the LPA and we will all buy year passes?

Here is something I just cut and pasted from a pres meeting minutes...
Jake- possible addition of a beginners forum or nav bar link to glossary terms and how-to articles.
Adam- email the club to get reef tour participants.
Mark- contact TLP in regards to getting a members behind the scenes night.
Bruce/Jon- August meeting on water motion.
Coral Cutting- no outside frags, more auction stuff.
November- elections.
December- with the Christmas meeting, we will also have Heil presenting that night as he gives out all the TOTM awards. We like the idea of going with plaques again.
So I would suggest checking with Mark to see how it is coming along. Last year people were talking about us having more club family activities. Lots of interest but few suggestions. If you want things like this, I'd encourage everyone to keep posting them here in this forum.

Mark - I may be able to help in lining things up. I should have a good
enough connection to get us "backstage."

After that pres. mtg. I spoke with the Chief Aquarist of TLPA's Gail Benjamin Experience at the Gateway. He said that behind the scenes tours are no longer being allowed for groups. It became too much of a hassle for them. About that same time period, the General Manager told me that they do not have enough room to allow meetings for a group as large as ours.
I've been behind the displays several times and believe me, it's nothing special. Many of our tanks are more technical and more intricate than those tanks. Really.
