Overview

Join us at the National Aquarium on April 22 for special programs and activities in honor of Earth Day! Pick up a blank travel journal when you arrive at the Aquarium and get ready to search for the animals in it. You'll go on a global trek as you explore exhibits, find discovery stations, talk with Aquarium educators, and collect stamps along the way!

Also special for Earth Day, you can read and play during Tots and Tales in the Children's Discovery Gallery, learn about water quality outside on Harbor Wetland, and make a pledge for dolphins in the Pier 4 underwater viewing area of Dolphin Discovery. We'll also have Earth Day-themed Animal Encounters and Critter Chats throughout the day.

All activities are free with Aquarium admission and open to all ages. Times and locations will be posted throughout the Aquarium on April 22.

Times and availability subject to change.
