Aquatic Adventures 

Recommended for Preschool (Age 3+)
This year, children will “dive” into the deep blue sea and meet a new friend, Otto the sea otter, and join his ocean journey as he discovers what makes a good home. This classroom program aims to: provide a safe environment for children to discover and learn about marine animals; engage the children and inspire their curiosity creating an emotional connection between the children and ocean animals through familiar themes; and to instill in them a sense of respect for all ocean life and the ocean environment. Your class will love learning about the many wonders of marine life through the variety of interactive experiences this program has to offer—storytelling, games, a meet and greet with live animals and much more.
