Join us Saturday, June 20, for a day chock full of ocean exploration!

Charlotte Nature Museum will Celebrate World Oceans as our June Creature Feature. We’ll be learning about the ocean and how we can become better stewards of these special waters.

Kids (and kids at heart) will receive a cool sea creature toy when they wear blue in honor of the ocean.

Get your eyes and hands on some cool ocean artifacts, see what it’s like to live like a cold water mammal with an interactive blubber glove, make a Facebook pledge to the ocean with our selfie station, play Under the Sea Bingo and even meet some live ocean animals in the touch tanks.

Talk directly with the team aboard the Nautilus, a state-of-the-art research vessel headed by famed researcher Dr. Robert Ballard, an underwater archaeologist who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic, as they seek to better understand the mysteries of the ocean.

You’ll also find information on sustainable seafood in North Carolina for those interested helping the ocean with their palate.

The ocean has given us so much and we would love to spend the day with you giving back to the blue!
