Bring the whole family along to any one of our upcoming Family Days! Come learn more about our local marine habitats while investigating with hands-on science and, of course, snorkeling! Activities range from interactive labs on land, to hopping on our boats and heading out to the coral reef. Either way, our marine biologist staff will be there to guide you every step of the way. Each event is a bit different so be sure to click on the links above for more details!
