Special Programs ($15/person)

Build a Shark: 11:30am and 2pm
Participants “design-build” a life-size white shark model piece by piece, discovering how each organ and sense of this awesome creature functions. By handling teeth and skin artifacts, and viewing a short documentary on our Farallones sharks, they’ll learn how their 400-million-year-old design still works to make them formidable top predators. Best for children ages 4-10 and their families.
