WORCESTER—Wild Kratts: Ocean Adventure!, a brand-new temporary exhibit at the EcoTarium Museum of Science and Nature, opened to a full crowd on Friday.
The exhibit, open through early September, immerses young explorers in whole-body explorations of ocean habitats and the fascinating creatures within them. Using Wild Kratts technology and the powers of science and teamwork, visitors join the Wild Kratts team to solve problems, help animals, explore age-appropriate science concepts central to marine animals’ lives, and foil the villains’ nefarious plans.
Habitats and activities include experiences such as:
- “Seashore”: Miniaturize in a tidal pool, crawl through an anemone, and hunt for lunch like a lobster
- “Shallow Sea”: Create your own dolphin name, roll up your sleeves, and get to work at a shark cleaning station
- “Deep Sea”: Hunt like a dragonfish in the dark depths of the sea and explore the creatures of the ocean floor
This exhibit is recommended for children ages 3–9, and includes a “tot spot” specifically for children under three years of age.
