Perfect for eight- to eleven-year-olds, Shark-riffic dives into the mysterious world of sharks to explore the many unique characteristics this predator possesses. During this 2-hour program, your group will:

  • Learn about shark anatomy
  • Discover how well shark senses actually work
  • See just how small and large sharks can actually be
  • Investigate shark teeth and learn how to tell what a shark eats by looking at their teeth
  • Make a shark tooth necklace craft
  • Take a guided tour of the Tropical Pacific gallery and our behind-the-scenes shark areas (participants must be over 7-years-old to go behind-the-scenes)
  • Touch animals in our private classroom touch pools
