Learn about the world of water alongside your young child. Can you walk like a crab? Swim like a fish? Leap like a whale? Or float like a jelly?
Family Explorers classes introduce your child to the wonders of the aquatic world while focusing on their developing motor and language skills and encouraging the development of early science skills such as observation and exploration. Classes run for one hour and include free play, circle time with songs, stories and activities, art projects and games.
There is a fee of $50.00 for members and $95.00 for non-members for each series of four classes. Adults are included in the cost of each child. Aquarium admission is included in the cost for non-members as classes end in the Aquarium. A $2 service fee will be added to each ticket. Sign up for three or more series at one time (12 classes or more) and receive a $5.00 credit per session.
Classes are held in the Aquarium's Ocean Center, which is across the plaza from the main Aquarium building. Classes will incorporate a visit to the Aquarium or a live animal encounter when appropriate to the topic.
Reservations Please call Central Reservations at 617-973-5206 to reserve your space. A $2 service fee will be added to each ticket.

Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Right Whales: A Crash Course
in Conservation Science and Policy
Dr. Moira Brown, New England Aquarium Right Whale Team
The North Atlantic right whale is considered one of the most endangered of all large whales: Only about 400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality. Dr. Moira Brown will explain how our science-based conservation program resulted in two implementations specifically designed to minimize the risk of lethal vessel strikes of right whales without unduly compromising vessel navigation and safety.
