SHARKS REVEALED

Grades K – 5
Enormous teeth, steely eyes, or possibly some theme music? Is that what comes to minds when you hear the word “shark”? Sharks are some of the most mysterious and misunderstood creatures of the ocean. Take a closer look at these mysterious animals during this program.

UNDERWATER PARKS

Grades pre-K – 5
Just as we enjoy our parks, undersea creatures need a safe and clean place to live and play! Explore the local parks of the California coast and see how an extreme makeover with the help from us can invite numerous animals to these homes.

Do you have what it takes to be a Junior Aquarist? Test your skills and find out what it’s like to be a staff member at SEA LIFE Aquarium. From feeding to making sure the water is “just right”, we guarantee tons of wet fun on this adventure!
