STUDENT SCAVENGER HUNT
Our self-guided Scavenger Hunt is geared towards students in grades 9 - 12. The topic, Aquarium Careers, highlights some of the jobs at the aquarium that involve working with animals. It is designed to slow students down so they can experience exhibits and animals more thoroughly, offering questions that encourage creative thinking and careful observation to answer.
