School Programs
Students participate in one of Birch Aquarium's school programs

Pre-K to Kindergarten


MEET AND GREET THE SEA 

The wonders of the sea will splash into the classroom as students learn how different sea creatures move and survive in the ocean. Preschoolers will meet live animals and use puppets to explore body movements.

SEA STORIES  only

Combine literacy and live animals for a fun-filled ocean experience. Popular children’s stories come alive with puppets and interactive play. The adventure continues when students interact with real sea animals.
