Returning! Club Sea Glow
Be sure to pack your dancing shoes when you visit Electric Ocean! Dance the night away during the last hour and a half of the day at Bayside Stadium. This family-friendly "dance club" environment hosts a world-class DJ and impressive performers that embody colorful ocean vibes. The DJ mixes music for all ages, making it easy to dance and sing along to.
Leap and I tend to switch between getting down with the tadpoles and fellow aquatic life on the dance floor and relaxing on the stadium seats. Our webbed feet really enjoy the break! We also love watching the various entertainment acts that populated the dance floor, such as the energetic Bayside Spinners.
Returning! Hydro Surge
