Animal Encounters: Learn More

You and your toddlers, ages 2-3, are invited to join us for our Toddler Family Programs! These 1-hour programs will occur in our exciting early childhood classroom and in our exclusive Green Space that is not accessible by the general public. Each program is intended to support toddler socialization and development with activities using our unique Aquarium and early childhood educational resources. Through guided and nature play, it is a perfect way for toddlers to gain some experience in group learning and activities and for their supportive adults to connect through common interests in a unique setting. Each program will foster new experiences in the true nature of learning through play with a variety of resources at Mystic Aquarium!

  • 1 toddler (ages 2-3) with 1 adult guardian in support of their toddler (Please note that your child must be 2 years old by the start date of the program.)
  • Individual 1-hour programs will be posted below and on our Events Calendar
  • $25 for Members for a child, ages 2-3 and accompanying adult / ($35 for non-members).
    • Please note that an adult guardian must be present with their participating child at all times during the program.
    • Due to limited space, only 1 adult will be able to attend per participating child
    • You also may register one “non-participating” sibling for a nominal fee of $5, ages 0-1. Again, due to space limitations, we need to account for all present in the room, so this includes an occupied baby stroller.
  • Please note we have a minimum requirement to confirm this program. Full refunds will apply if we cancel the program due to under-enrollment.
  • You will enter/exit our educational building, so general admission is not required to attend this program and is not included.
  • A member of the Education staff will meet you 5-minutes prior to start-time at the external parking lot entrance of Milne Ocean Science & Conservation Center located on the far-right side of the Mystic Aquarium complex with overflow parking.
