Aquarium Food Drive Collected Over 2,500 Pounds of Food |
Thank you to everyone that donated during Sea of Lights' Food Drive Weekend!
During the Sea of Lights event, the Oregon Coast Aquarium transformed into more than a winter wonderland, it became a hub of generosity. Thanks to the incredible support of the community, guests didn’t just come to enjoy the festive displays, they came ready to give. By the end of the Sea of Lights “Food Drive Weekend” an astounding amount of food, over 2,500 pounds, was collected for the Lincoln County Food Share.

2026 Reciprocal Membership Partners |
For the ninth year, members of the Northwest Attractions Alliance (formerly the Portland Attractions Marketing Alliance or PAMA) will offer reciprocal admission benefits to its members. The program was created as a way to show appreciation for each attraction’s loyal members as well as highlight the important role that cultural organizations play in their communities. The program has grown from 12 participating attractions to now include 29 regional attractions throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
From January through December 2026, membership to one of the participating organizations is the key to free admission for a member and three guests of any age to different featured attractions each month.
