  • Participants may enter through the education entrance between 9:00am-12:00pm.

  • Going Microscopic - 10/11/22

    Have you ever wondered what microscopic organisms look like? Or what is considered the smallest particles found in the ocean? We will explore each of these while learning about the most important microorganisms found in the ocean this month! Get ready to think big and learn about the small.

  • Ocean Robotics - 11/8/22

    Robots are doing incredible work in the scientific world. Technology is all around us, but did you know it is also in the deepest parts of the ocean and can be used to clean up our waterways? Join us this month to learn about the amazing uses of robotics to protect and discover our aquatic environments and the world we live in.

  • Deep Sea - 12/13/22

    Approximately 80 percent of the ocean has yet to be explored. Mysteries of the deep sea are slowly being solved, and scientists are continuously discovering new deep-sea animals. Join us as we dive deep into the depths of the ocean to explore the various creatures that live there and the unique conditions they live in!

  • Bizarre Adaptations - 1/10/23

    Did you know that each animal has a unique characteristic that helps it to survive? These are called adaptations! Adaptations are why frogs can be poisonous, fish can spit water, sharks can sense their prey and why octopuses can camouflage. Want to learn more about how these animals can thrive in a wide variety of ecosystems? Join us for the most bizarre Tuesdays in the Field yet!

  • Keystone Species - 2/14/23

    Have you ever wondered why an otter is important to its habitat? Did you know sharks play a key role in managing the oceans? Join us this month as we further explore these animals as well as other “key” organisms that help keep ecosystems functioning!

  • Aquatic Ecosystems - 3/14/23

    From the creek in your backyard all the way to the ocean, water is key to how organisms survive. Between freshwater and saltwater aquatic habitats, there is an abundance of biodiversity to explore! Join us this month as we dive deep into the incredible aquatic ecosystems surrounding us.
