At Home Learning
Looking for ways to learn and explore science topics with your kids during Shelter-in-Place?
You can continue learning at home through our free lesson plans for K-12th students. Each includes art activities, writing practice, and experiments that you can do with household supplies!
“After 47 weeks of Shelter in Place, we look forward to welcoming you back to the aquarium. We have put in place new protocols for health and sanitization following the city and state guidelines for your safety. Our newest animal ambassador Tala, the Cape Porcupine, can’t wait to show you around!”
