Audubon Aquarium Celebrates Star Wars Day

The Force will be strong at Audubon Aquarium this weekend as the Aquarium celebrates Star Wars Day on Saturday, May 4th (Get it? May the fourth be with you!) 

You don’t have to visit a galaxy far, far away to get into the Star Wars spirit. Guests visiting the Aquarium’s Maya Reef tunnel may glimpse divers with light sabers at the ready as they swim in the exhibit at 10:30 a.m. 

Special costumed characters from the 501st Legion will also be part of the fun for Star Wars Day. The 501st Legion is worldwide costuming organization dedicated to celebrating Star Wars. This Saturday, some of their local members will be in costume and on duty at the Aquarium, meeting guests, taking photos, and generally patrolling through the building. There may even be a droid or two hanging around. 

All the Star Wars fun is free with Aquarium admission and runs from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
