Circle of Investors/Exclusive Exhibit Naming Rights*

The name or logo of each of our Circle of Investors will be tastefully displayed exclusively* next to their very own exhibit at the Aquarium and their employee families will enjoy free admission. Naming Rights for the entire facility are also being considered.

Our estimated 500,000+ annual visitors, most of whom will be local families and regional tourists, will appreciate seeing your company's generous support in a venue they are passionate about.

We are currently seeking exclusive sponsors for all of our aquarium exhibits from the largest - the 2 million gallon Oceanarium (with lighted Freeway 99 signage exposure) - to the smallest (still 240 gallons!). Please email our Executive Director, Tom Lang, today at tlang@aquariusaquarium.org to help support this important community project. Here are some examples of exhibits now available for naming:
