Program Description

Event Details

Listen to a story about a tiny sea snail that journeys around the world on the back of a whale’s tail! Following the story, kids get to create their own whale tail (complete with snails!) to bring home and take on new adventures. Presented by the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium, the only accredited museum in the country completely dedicated to mollusks and the shells they create. Ages: 6-11. Registration required. Please plan to arrive on time as this program starts promptly at 11am. Your registration is valid only until the start of the program at which time we will admit waitlisted attendees. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
