An animal a day… keeps you learning and wanting to play. Join the Downtown Aquarium's Education department, along with the animal residents, to learn about sharks, rays, octopuses, felines and parrots. We will play games, make crafts and participate in many activities to see what makes these animals unique and able to live where they do.
