About Us:

Ocean Connections is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to inspiring conservation awareness and public action for our world's ocean through education.  We are committed to providing exceptional welfare to the animals that call us home and fostering empathy for wildlife and nature through various learning opportunities.  With locations in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and South Carolina, our "touch the heart, teach the mind" philosophy comes to life through exciting, educational, and interacative experiences.  From community outreach to small-group encounters, there's something for everyone!


We hope that you have the opportunity to join us and experience the wonder of widlife up close. The opportunity to interact with our flippered, furry, and feathered family awaits you!
