Free events this weekend!

World Oceans Day
Sunday, Jun 3, 2012

Join the New England Aquarium on Central Wharf to experience a full line-up of Oceans Day activities, including submersible robots, cooking demonstrations, hands-on activities for kids and plenty to learn about ocean animals and habitats.

This annual event is a great way to learn about our ocean’s incredibly diverse creatures and habitats—and what we can do to protect them.

As an added bonus, look for Calvin, the Aquarium's inflatable 42 foot long right whale on the Greenway at Milk Street. (Weather permitting)

All World Oceans Day activities are free and open to the public. Aquarium admission is separate, but you can still enjoy the World Oceans Day Celebration.

Please visit www.neaq.org/oceansday for more information and event details.
