Our last week!

If you haven't made it to the touch tank this summer, or if you've been meaning to come back a second, third, tenth or twentieth time, this is your last chance! It's our last week of open hours: Tuesday through Friday, 11 to 4, and Saturday and Sunday, 10 to 4.

As Bailey mentioned on Sunday, we have urchins, hermit crabs, and a pregnant Asian shore crab. Many of our favorites - our lobster, Lucky, our two flounder, Winnie the Pooh and Mikey, and our favorite crab, Big Mama — have been with us for the whole summer. Some of them may stay with us over the winter, to visit schools and libraries for our touch tank programs; others will be released back into the ocean very soon. So make sure to make it to the dock to bid your friends farewell!
