1 Sessions 10am & 1pm

Dive deeper into ocean science as a family at our Sanctuary Visitor Center Family Workshops. Led by our team of marine science educators, these weekend workshops are perfect for 4–10 year old budding marine biologists and their families.

Learn what it takes to be the world’s largest species of turtle – one that is critically endangered. Participants will discover the life cycle of a leatherback turtle through interactive games and stories. Explore sea turtle skulls and specimens as well as witness real scientific video footage of a Leatherback foraging for food in the sanctuary. Attendees will also team up to assemble a life-size Leatherback model.

COST: $10 per participant (example: 1 parent + 2 children = $30)
