The seahorse is a very delicate animal and an endangered species on the edge of extinction so please follow the holding instructions carefully. All children must be accompanied by an adult and must be 6 years or older in order to hold a seahorse. Keep cameras 4 ft away from the seahorse with the flash off. Please be quiet and still in the holding area as seahorses are sensitive to movement and sound.

Please arrive 30 minutes early to check in, wash up, read our biosecurity and seahorse holding rules, and sign paperwork.
The seahorse is a CITES-listed endangered species on the edge of extinction. Please follow the holding instructions exactly. Seahorses will instinctively swim away from movement, light and noise. So, if you want to hold one, make your seahorse feel safe by NOT moving, pinching, grabbing, flashing light (i.e., a camera flash), or making noise.
Keep cameras 4 feet away from the seahorses, and make sure the flash is off. (Please test your camera aimed at the ground, not the seahorses.)
All children must be 6 years old or older to hold a seahorse.
All holders must be able to remain still and quiet, not moving any fingers, in order to hold a seahorse.
If a potential holder is not able to follow these instructions, Ocean Rider reserves the right to not allow them to hold a seahorse. No refunds will be issued in this case.
