Enter the colorful world under the sea and swim along with The Pout-Pout Fish and friends as they discover that sometimes friendship is all it takes to find a smile where “dreary wearies” used to be. Based on Deborah Diesen’s “Pout Pout Fish” series, this theatrical experience invites our young audience and their grown ups into an environment of bright ocean colors, memorable music, and playful rhyme in this fun fish story that’s sure to turn even the poutiest of frowns upside down.

​Appropriate for ages 18 months to 6 years old & their grown ups.

Doors open 30 minutes before each show  for guests wishing to explore the world of Pout Pout Fish through self guided hands on literacy and creative play activities.
