ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS
Join us in June to learn about the importance of composting and how we compost here at the Aquarium!
Animal Ambassadors are one of the most important parts of the St. Louis Aquarium’s mission: education! These animals that you get to see up close will teach you a lot about their species and how their presence benefits the environment. As ambassadors of their species, they can tell us a lot about what we can do to help their species in the wild!
Get a closer look at the St. Louis Aquarium through our guided Aquarium Tours led by our educators. Hear fun stories about the habitats, learn more about your favorite animals at the Aquarium, discover what it takes to care for our animals, and so much more!
If participants wish to break for lunch and/or go through the aquarium at their own pace without an educator guide, they are welcome to do so.
Please email our education team at [email protected] if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
