Into the Deep
June 22 - September 4, 2010

Dive into fun with plenty of sea themed, hands-on activities!

The yellow submarine has returned! Sink into the sea in the museum's custom built, walk-in, 15 foot yellow submarine! Listen to the sonar sounds and peer into the depths of the ocean through periscopes and portholes!

Children can learn about diving and SCUBA gear with Diver Dan&but watch out for SHARKS! Our Sea-k and Find Mural will have you scouting schools of fish and exotic sea life! An aquarium with live fish helps children learn the difference between freshwater and saltwater habitats! There are examples of real sea specimens--shells, coral, and live hermit crabs!

This exhibit offers educational information about sea life, aquatic food chains, ocean light zones and more. Signs include questions for adults to ask children while interacting in the exhibit.

There will be special Into the Deep activities throughout the run of the exhibit, including an Into the Deep Pirate Party. Check the museum's website calendar for specific dates and times.
