Does Sandy the Sandman look familiar? He's a huge fan of Zoombezi Bay!

Need a moment to warm up? Swim on in to Discovery Reef!
The aquariums here are home to hundreds of aquatic species year-round and during Wildlights, they have a special guest – Sandy the Sandman! While his snowy friends enjoy the winter weather, Sandy is a beach guy at heart and prefers to hang out indoors near the water with his fishy friends.
OhioHealth Hint
Allergies don’t just pop up in the fall and spring. Winter has its own host of tiny, sneeze-inducing visitors. Dust mites can thrive and spread their droppings when unpacking winter blankets and decorations. Mold can accumulate in damp basements, triggering hay fever or asthma. And dander from your family pet tends to linger longer, since you’re all cooped up inside together.
Deal with these little critters by changing your furnace filter once a month, try to groom your pet weekly and if your symptoms just won’t stop? See your doctor about medication to lessen symptoms.
