MIAMI SEAQUARIUM: WHERE LEARNING IS FUN!

MIAMI -- What makes Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street and Mr. Wizard so popular?  It's entertainment that teaches ... and it's fun! Guests at Miami Seaquarium experience spectacular marine-life-shows, presentations and exhibits while learning about animals in a hands-on, fun-filled day.  Visitors get to see, hear and experience the natural abilities and beauty of animals that most people only dream of encountering. Through education and wildlife conservation,  Miami Seaquarium provides exciting ways to inform the public about marine animals and motivate them to help protect our delicate ocean environments.

Education plays a prominent role in the park's mission.  Informative segments are incorporated through all shows and presentations in the park, while new educational programs are constantly developed. Miami Seaquarium officers one-day camps, Spring and Summer camps, scouting programs, home school studies, mommy & me programs, field trips, guided tours for school groups, teacher workshops and outreach programs.  Overall, more than 60,000 people a year participate in Miami Seaquarium educational programs.

 All of these education programs are designed to teach participants about the animals featured in the park and what role each plays in the ecosystem. Using activities, projects, games and interactive discussions, instructors inform students of the many ways they can help conserve endangered animals and marine habitats.
