Join our marine educators in exploring the ocean from top to
bottom, while searching for some of the world’s largest and
smallest creatures, including dolphins and whales, during our
2.5-hour long marine life exploration cruise.
Join us for this six-week adventure series exploring shapes,
colors, textures, and more with everyone’s favorite tidepool
animal, the sea star! Each Tuesday session includes exploration,
an animal encounter, and an activity. Suitable for ages 2 to 3
years.
From animals to humans, navigation takes skill, talent, and many
tools. Learn from our expert naturalists how whales, birds, and
humans navigate yearly migrations, explore the deep sea, or chart
a course for adventure. Each month we will explore a new way of
navigating.
There’s a luminous underwater world just waiting to shine! Learn
about the remarkable ability of some marine animals to glow in
the dark and witness this curiously beautiful phenomenon.*

Fins every Tuesday from November 5- November 26 where your

using different marine animals as examples.
