Aquarium of the Pacific

Sounds of the Sea
This program focuses on the sounds made by some of the animals that live in the ocean. Students will discover what animals make what sounds by listening to different creatures and imitating the noises that they make. Participants will read stories, tour the aquarium and come face to face with some of the animals that make wild noises. Students will also discover more about animal sounds through a live animal touch and a noisemaking “mar-octopus” craft.

Aqua Tots are a series of programs developed for two to three-year-olds with their parent or adult chaperone. Because this class is specifically designed for two to three year olds, any younger or older siblings of the child should stay at home and cannot be admitted to the class. These programs give students a first look into ocean life while allowing for adult/child interaction. Each Aqua Tot Program focuses on a particular concept and expands upon that concept during the class.  Because of the length of the class, programs do not include a snack time.
