Shark feeding from 10–10:30 a.m.
Shark petting at noon–12:30 and 3–3:30 p.m.
Get your hands wet as you meet living sharks and other marine creatures. What should you be more afraid of: a shark or a falling coconut? Did you know that sharks have a "sixth" sense? The shark tank demonstration is free, but tickets are required and available at guest services. For safety reasons, children must be 40 inches or taller to experience the touch tanks.

We are shooting  a time lapse of the Lotus Flower at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.
Lotuses are perhaps the most spectacular plants in aquatic environments. The Chinese say that, once having seen the growing lotus, you never forget it. The lotus flowers have color from red, pink, pale yellow to creamy white. A separate, long, tubular stalk supports each flower and each large round leaf is usually white or pink with 15 or more oval, spreading petals, and a peculiar, flat seedcase at its center. (Read more about Lotus at FlowerPictures.net website) and don’t forget to visit Lewisginter.org.

We have already setup a camera and it should be filming until the middle of June. Stay tuned!
