The Director Has Left the Building


"So long and thanks for all the Diet Coke..."


A lot of changes coming to the Aquarium of late, but one of the biggest has been the departure of our Director, John Braden. John began his retirement on Thursday of last week and we wish him all the best on his future adventures. 
The Aquarium at Night has only had the pleasure of working with John for a few years, but we all know him as an enthusiastic supporter of Aquarium Special Events and all that we do here at night. 
Thanks John!
