Emotions At Play at the Virginia Aquarium

Hosted by: Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center

  • April 27, 2025 - May 4, 2025

    09:00 AM - 05:00 PM

Experience the role emotions, memory, and imagination play in our everyday lives at the Virginia Aquarium's new changing exhibit, Emotions at Play with Pixar's Inside Out. Hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit focus on the five emotions featured in the Pixar film: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. Explore some of the ways we express our emotions — and recognize emotions in others, too.

This exhibition was developed by Children's Museum of Pittsburgh in collaboration with Pixar Animation Studios .

  • Step into Headquarters to explore the range and intensity of emotions at the Control Panel.

  • Engage with feelings and reactions at the Emotions Mirrors.

  • Recall feelings toward and important memory by creating a glowing Memory Sphere.

  • Create an imaginary story and perform it at Dream Productions.

  • Control and keep the Train of Thought on track.

  • Build and learn how emotions work together with the Emotion Blocks.
