Children's Education

[jpelzer]

Does anyone know of a marine educator who can handle a small-group of children (probably fewer than 10)? Ideally, they'd have some creatures that could be brought for a touch-tank type experience, and of course the ability to give a neat presentation and answer some questions. Late-April timeframe.

This is in the NNJ area, Weehawken specifically (right near the Lincoln Tunnel for those located in NYC)

Thanks for any help guys & gals!

Jason,

You may want to try Atlantis Marine World Aquarium on LI. I know they offer outreach education at schools. Don't know if they'd come into NJ but wouldn't hurt to ask.

Jenkinsons brings a penguin to my son's preschool every year. The kids also go to the aquarium each year and do the whole touch tank thing there.
