"OdySea Aquarium is turning 10 — and the celebration lasts all summer long! Guests are invited to dive into a season filled with immersive experiences, exciting surprises, and unforgettable under‑the‑sea birthday fun.

From Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day (May 23 – Sept. 6), the Aquarium transforms into a whimsical birthday wonderland. Playful décor and vibrant photo‑op scenes featuring sea lions, otters, penguins, and other fan‑favorite animals sporting colorful birthday hats bring the party to life at every turn. Guests may even encounter surprise giveaways from OdySea’s roaming Prize Patrol Team or meet penguin mascots Pip & Polly dressed in their birthday best."

The Show for June 3, 2026: The state of DACA today, Pal Experiences and more DADA recipients were supposed to be protected from deportation under the Obama-era program. But one advocate says the program is being slowly dismantled under Trump. Plus, a local nonprofit helps kids with developmental disabilities visit Valley attractions.
