New 4D Film To Play At Maritime Aquarium In Norwalk

NORWALK, CT — A new 4D experience is set to play at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk starting next month.

According to a news release provided by the aquarium, guests can experience "Fly 4D: Wild Flight to Africa", an immersive experience that places audiences in the middle of an epic bird migration, beginning April 1.

The family-friendly adventure follows Gus, a tiny bird with a giant heart who unexpectedly becomes the leader of a flock migrating thousands of miles to Africa, according to the aquarium.

"Along the way, challenges turn into unforgettable moments of courage, friendship and teamwork," the release reads.

The film will play in the aquarium's signature 4D Theater, where the action extends beyond the screen with special effects such as wind, bubbles, mist and scents that bring the journey to life for audiences of all ages, according to the release.

"It's a larger-than-life cinematic experience guests simply can't replicate at home," the release reads.

Two different 4D experiences will play throughout the day, giving guests multiple adventures to choose from, as "Fly 4D: Wild Flight to Africa" will play alongside "Animal Kingdom: The Wild Awaits 4D," according to the release.

"No visit to the aquarium is complete without experiencing the 4D Theater," Cristy Eagles Moriarty, director of guest operations at the aquarium, said in a news release. "Fly 4D is a fun and exciting way for families to feel like they're part of the adventure."

"Fly 4D: Wild Flight to Africa" opens April 1 and will play for a limited engagement, according to the aquarium.

The aquarium's 4D Theater has become a favorite stop for visitors, offering a fun cinematic experience that complements the exhibits and adds another dimension to the day's adventure, according to the aquarium.

Tickets are $7.95 per person and $6.95 for members. The 4D theater may be enjoyed with or without aquarium admission, according to the aquarium.
