Keep an eye out for our mascots, Sharkey, Apollo, and Nero as they make surprise appearances throughout the Downtown Aquarium! These loveable characters are always ready for high-fives, hugs, and photo ops. Planning a school event? Our mascots love to travel too!
sharkey
The Fintastic Hero of the Deep
Meet Sharkey, our muscle-bound, mega-smiley blue shark who’s always ready to make a splash!
With his cool moves and ocean-sized heart, Sharkey is the protector of underwater fun.
Whether he’s high-fiving kids, striking a pose, or swimming through the crowd with a grin, Sharkey brings the bite-sized excitement wherever he goes.
apollo
The King of Jungle Energy
Say hello to Apollo, our orange Bengal tiger with a bold personality
and a roar for adventure!
Energetic, friendly, and always the life of the party, Apollo loves
meeting new guests and cheering on the crowd.
He’s got stripes of style and a heart of gold—and he’s
never afraid to strut his stuff across the aquarium grounds.
NERO
The Cool Cat of the Aquarium
Smooth, chill, and cool as ice—Nero is our white Bengal tiger with a calm charm that turns heads.
With his quiet confidence, he brings the purr-fect balance to the mascot crew.
While Apollo brings the energy, Nero steals the spotlight with his effortless moves and picture-perfect presence.
Planning a school event? Our mascots love to travel too! Bring the fun to your campus with a special visit for careers days, field days, and other celebrations. To learn more or book a mascot appearance, contact our Education Department.
