Tuesday, February 28: Shark Science – Enjoy early access to the Trust Family Foundation Shark and Ray Touch Tank beginning at 9:00 a.m. A member of the Aquarium’s shark research team will share facts about sharks and answer questions from visitors about shark science, tagging, and more.


Tickets for the educational programs are $10 per student—in addition to the cost of admission—and include one complimentary adult entry into the Aquarium. Each session is limited to 20 children. The Aquarium is also offering discounted admission for homeschool families on Tuesdays through the end of March ($12 for children and $21 for adults), with February 21 excluded from the promotion. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Reservations Department at 617-973-5206 daily between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.


The Aquarium is committed to providing interactive and informative programming for students in homeschool programs. In addition to the onsite special programs, the Aquarium has a host of activities on the institution’s website that help visitors explore the Aquarium more deeply, encourage content learning, and improve science skills as well as support math and literacy development.

Some of the special programming includes ecology, ethology, or zoology. Each activity includes a list of recommended materials to bring with you and educators are available to help with those investigations. Visit www.neaq.org/learn/home-school-programs/ for more activities.
