You’re invited to get up close with some of the more familiar creatures found in our ocean.
Our touch tank pool allows you to gently touch marine animals such as sea stars, sea urchins, whelks, horseshoe crabs, and hermit crabs. These animals live in a variety of habitats and have developed many ways to survive the waves and predators. Volunteers are on hand to assist and teach you about these incredible animals.
Did you know, when a sea urchin “hugs” your finger if you gently touch its spines, it’s actually checking you out: Are you food or predator? If you’re neither, the animal will just gradually release you.
Alaska is a place like no other. For many people, a trip to Alaska is a life-long dream. For the people who live there, they depend on and protect an enduring way of life. But there are places in Alaska that are so remote and so wild, few Alaskans have ever gone there. This program will take you to these places — to the remote wilderness to see iconic animals and to landscapes that define the Last Frontier — places that make Alaska…Alaska.
