Fall hours and opportunities

Thanks to everyone for a great summer! We at Blue Ocean Society have had a wonderful time getting to know you and helping you get to know local marine wildlife.

With the summer wrapping up and school back in session, we will be changing our open hours for the month of September. The tank is scheduled to be open on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 2 p.m. If you would like to visit during the week, please call the Blue Ocean Society office at (603) 431-0260, and we can schedule a time to be there for you.

Local educators: Bring your students to the touch tank! If you'd like to schedule a mini field-trip, call the Blue Ocean Society office at (603) 431-0260 or e-mail katherine@blueoceansociety.org. We offer presentations, games and activities that give kids a hands-on learning experience. And the best part is, it's free! Call or e-mail today!
