Aquarium of the Pacific

Magnificent Marine Mammals
Our marine mammal relatives who live in the ocean are the focus of this family program. Students will learn the characteristics that all mammals have in common and discover the amazing adaptations marine mammals use to survive in their watery habitat. Marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, sea otters and whales will be explored through activities, games and a craft. Our own magnificent marine mammals will be observed first hand in the Aquarium during this exciting class.

These programs are developed for four to six year olds with a parent or chaperone. Because this class is specifically designed for four to six year olds, any younger or older siblings of the child should stay at home and cannot be admitted to the class. These programs allow students to delve into the ocean world through interactive, hands on programming. Child/adult interaction is encouraged in the class, aiding in the student’s discovery while fostering parent child relationships.
