I’ve always been drawn to the ocean, but it wasn’t until I started looking at it as more than a place to swim in the summer that I began to understand the enormous role oceans play on our planet. This Saturday at the Mystic Aquarium, stop by for the World Oceans Day party and learn about this amazing natural resource and how to protect it.

Families welcome (and anyone who’s visited the Aquarium before knows how easy it is to get lost and spend the day) and hands-on activities will make it an interactive, educational day. There are penguins to visit, too!

If you’re spending the weekend, don’t forget to sign up for the World Oceans Day Beach Cleanup. Worth your time, and you can walk away knowing you’ve done a good thing. And next time you’re boogie boarding, you’ll have a greater appreciation for where you are.
