The world’s only traveling gator experience, Gator Encounters, is among the new exhibits at the World Pet Association’s third annual Aquatic Experience – Chicago, Nov. 6-8, 2015, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center.

Show attendees will be able to interact with gators up close at a touch tank, as well as enjoy additional must-sea family programs including new live octopus and piranha tanks, Fish from Around the World displays, a kids aquarium contest and “everything aquatic under one roof”—from saltwater and freshwater fish to pond and aquatic plants. The thriving show floor of exhibitors showcases the latest in aquatic trends and products for advanced hobbyists and first-time aquarium keepers alike.

Gator Encounters will offer guests of all ages an up-close experience with an Alligator Touch Tank and display of adult alligators, as well as daily “Gator Talks” to teach guests about these amazing reptiles.

Additional educational seminars at Aquatic Experience – Chicago on hobbyist and retail topics will feature Keynote Speaker Frank Reece of Blue Zoo, along with many other aquatic experts. Seminars range from intermediate-level information to advanced topics.
