Cocktails with the Whales returns this spring and summer to Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration. The event, which began in 2009 as a monthly gathering, will take place bi-weekly this year due to its popularity. Enjoy drinks and food by Ocean Blue Catering, as well as live music in front of the Arctic Coast exhibit, home to the aquarium’s resident beluga whales. These gatherings take place on Thursday evenings – April 15, May 13 and 27, June 10 and 24, July 8 and 22 and August 19 – from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The evenings include drink specials, including Ocean Blue’s signature “Belugatini”, hors d’ oeuvres such as chowder and quesadillas available for purchase and live music in front of the Arctic Coast’s three 20-foot underwater viewing windows, providing guests an up-close look at the belugas.
