Toddlers take center stage at Mystic Aquarium this November with the return of Toddler Tuesdays. Each Tuesday during the month of November, preschool-aged children will be delighted with events tailored just for their fun and learning. Activities, scheduled for 10:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm, are aimed at engaging children with animals, exhibits and the mission of Mystic Aquarium. All activities are free with admission.

“It is never too soon to begin engaging children with marine life,” said Kelly Matis, VP of Education and Conservation. “We hope to inspire children to care for and protect our ocean planet from as early an age as possible. It is the best way to build ocean stewardship.”

Toddler Tuesdays kicks-off on November 1 with Sing-Along with Sharks featuring Mary “Fab” McTeague. Toddlers are invited to gather at the Shark Lagoon to participate in a sing-along to songs about the sea.

Children delighted over last year’s “Cuddle Clinic” with Mystic Aquarium’s veterinary team. Once again, Chief Veterinarian Dr. Jen Flower and her team will perform check-ups on the children’s favorite stuffed animals on November 8. This also provides the Aquarium’s team of dedicated animal care professionals the unique opportunity to interact with guests who learn from our animals every day. Parents are encouraged to ask questions about Mystic Aquarium’s world-class animal care and welfare.

On Tuesday, November 15, Mystic Aquarium is taking exploration of the world’s ecosystems to the next level with an “off-road” safari in Exploration: Wild! Toddlers are invited to bring their own tiny transportation- tricycles, peddle cars, or strollers (no battery operated toys, please!)- and helmets, too-for a ride through the Tropical Rainforest, Arctic, Open Ocean, Deep Ocean, and Desert environments. They are sure to meet reptiles and amphibians along the way. Off-road tiny transportation parking will be available outside of the Ocean Exploration Center for families to enjoy the rest of their Mystic Aquarium visit.

While sea turtles drink when swimming, toddlers are encouraged to sit and enjoy “Tea with Turtles” on Tuesday, November 22. Boys and girls alike will enjoy a visit from some of Mystic Aquarium freshwater turtles and tortoises during a “tea party” in Exploration: Wild!

Toddler Tuesdays wrap up on November 29 with the ever-popular “Bubble Party”. There will be giggles galore as kids blow bubbles at the Foxwoods Marine Theater underwater viewing area, where underwater SCUBA divers and the California Sea lions look on and even blow bubbles of their own.

These are “time outs” every Toddler will enjoy! For more information visit MysticAquarium.org
