SEA BASE engaging science programs at the Aquarium
Ocean-based learning is front & center for STEM! Our acclaimed curriculum offers 3 levels of immersion:
101 - 50 minutes of adventure in the sea! Start with an introduction to the ocean and then explore the exhibits as you search for animals during a hide and find scavenger hunt. Interact with sea stars, urchins, conch, crabs and more in the Tide Pool. Meet one of our Ed-bassador animals up close and personal. Take home a fun activity sheet to review and remember your experience. $120.00 for up to 30 total attending
202 - A unique 90 minute experience that includes the 101 program plus a 30 minute focus lesson. Schedule today and allow Team ECCO to enrich your learning. $145.00 30 people maximum attending
303 -a 2 hour program that gets in deep with ocean labs and expansion on your Science Standards. Start with the intro program of a 101, and then catch the wave of ocean exploration - without leaving the mountains. This program may be designed with two 30 minute focus classes or one 60 minute focus class.
$165.00 30 people attending maximum
**With the 202 or 303, a live small shark and ray feed may be included as focus class.
* 202 & 303 programs offer focus learning on marine invertebrates, water quality, ecological limiting factors, oceanic zones, coral, sharks and rays, fish ID, ocean ecology, and more!
Let us enrich your science platform with real-time, hands-in classes and programs that ignite a desire to learn more. Program options for the 202 or 303 levels are limited only by your imagination!
Due to interaction policies, group size is limited to 30 total attending for both Sea Base 202 & 303.
