      The Eco Trek Sleepover is another of the exhibits that’s theme is centered on a rainforest.  You are transported from Maryland to the tropical climates of South America, as you stay overnight and search the aquarium’s galleries and in the morning you are transported to the Upland Tropical Rain Forest to watch the tropical birds eat their breakfast. The Marine Animal Rescue Program (MARP) has an exhibit where visitors can learn about animals in danger and what it takes to rescue them.  It gives you a behind the scenes look at the Rescue Program and makes it possible to learn about careers that involve marine animals. This tour shows you how the animals are rescued and how their food is prepared and the hospital pools, which are a large part of the Animal Rescue Facility.
