On our extended day, we will embark on a behind-the-scenes field trip to The Sea Life Aquarium, where we’ll meet incredible marine animals up close and learn from real ocean experts. From the shallow tide pools to the deep and dark abyss, this class is packed with discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun.
