Description
Spend some quality time at our Touch Tank during this walk-in program for families. You'll have an opportunity to see and hold hermit crabs, moon snails, sea urchins and more! Come see how much our horseshoe crab hatchlings have grown and spend some time in our Kid Zone with a science station, take-home craft and coloring pages.
This program is part of Trails & Sails, a 16-day series of free events (September 13 to September 28) hosted by the Essex National Heritage Area. These events help to foster awareness and appreciation for natural and cultural resources around Essex County.
