Friday, July 26
This month we will be taking a deep dive into zoology during Dive Deeper. Zoology is the study of animals so during July we will be exploring the animals of the ocean. Participate in an experiment as we explore the deepest part of the seas and get your hands wet as WonderLab’s animal ambassadors get fed.
Dive Deeper is a monthly science program suitable for people of all ages. This program is an opportunity to talk with our animal exhibits staff directly to learn about WonderLab’s animal ambassadors and what it takes to care for animals from around the world. See a fully functioning ecosystem in action while you explore WonderLab’s 300 gallon coral reef aquarium with our care staff to guide you along the way.
The whole ocean is connected, from the sunny shallows to the deepest trenches. Through interactive demonstrations learn with us about how what we do here on land can affect the ocean and cooperatively problem solve to come up with solutions to the environmental issues the ocean faces every day.
Activities may include:
- Observing staff feeding the fish, corals or sea stars
- A guided Tour of Wonder Under the Waves
- Watch or participate in demonstrations and experiments
- Get hands on by holding coral or sea star skeletons, sponges, or even algae
Program details are subject to change as the needs of the animal ambassadors warrant.
