A group of adults will rarely put the aquarium on their social calendar, but the New England Aquarium’s Spring Lectures will entice this demographic to come on in!
Apart from the African Penguins, California Sea Lions, Green Sea Turtles, Moon Jellys and Green Anacondas, Rainforest exhibits, Coral Reef Center, Marine Mammal Center and a Shark and Ray Touch Tank exhibits you’ve come to expect from the aquarium, there are also educational programs to whet your whistle.
Since 1972, the Aquarium has been providing free lectures and films by scientists, environmental writers, and photographers. Although free and open to the public, registrations are required. All lectures take place at 7PM in the Aquarium’s IMAX Theater, unless otherwise noted, and each last approximately one hour.
Gather a group and check out the next five:
