Special Activities

Let's Go Crabbing!

Come to this class prepared to test your luck crabbing.  Participants will learn some basic biology of the blue crab and experience line crabbing firsthand at an offsite location 15-minutes away from the Aquarium.  Closed toe shoes are required.

Ages 5 & up - Children ages 5-12 must be accompanied by a paying participating adult. We are not able to accommodate infants, even if they are in a carrier. 

Registration closes 30 minutes prior to program, if there are no reservations.

Please check back in early 2025 summer for dates and times!

*Participants will meet at the Aquarium first, and then the program is conducted offsite with Aquarium van transportation offered to and from crabbing site.  Please note that this program may be cancelled on the day of the program due to inclement weather or air quality alerts for our area.  Participants would be notified of these cancellations and receive a full refund for their program.
