The aquarium experience inspired by the Animal Crossing: New Horizons video game on the Nintendo Switch™ is coming to SEA LIFE Kansas City! From November 1st – December 19th, themed activities will offer Aquarium guests the opportunity to explore the wonders of aquatic life while enjoying the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
In the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available for the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems on Nintendo eShop and through retailers.
At SEA LIFE Kansas City, guests will be able to interact with familiar Animal Crossing characters while learning more about the real-world animal kingdom while coming face-to-fin with thousands of sea creatures.
The event will include:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons photo opportunity, featuring an aquarium-themed background with characters from the game.
Themed signage throughout the Aquarium featuring creature descriptions presented by in-game curator, Blathers, with information directly from the game.
Character cutout displays of familiar characters from the game throughout the Aquarium near a wide variety of habitats.
My Nintendo™ kiosks where guests can check in to receive 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points* redeemable on my.nintendo.com for exclusive digital and physical rewards.
Plus, guests will have the opportunity to meet-and-greet Isabelle, Tom Nook, or K.K. Slider from the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game on select dates, along with interactive stamp rallies inspired by the game!
