Programs take place in our Marine Theater.

Mystic Aquarium educators will travel to your school to present a fun, educational and engaging 45-60 minute presentation for your students in an auditorium setting. You may choose one of three themes for the program: penguins, sharks or explore the shore. Each presentation will include information and activities as well as a visit from a selection of live marine invertebrates (lobster, horseshoe crab, sea star, etc.) which will be shown to students utilizing a special camera that can project the small parts of animals larger than life on a big screen. This program is a unique and fun auditorium experience.
