Missing your favorite aquariums? Don’t worry! NOAA’s CELC Network has put together a list of fun virtual educational activities for all ages to enjoy at home. Whether it’s watching how to train sea lions, getting a virtual tour of some of our partner aquarium’s exciting research labs and exhibits, or watching penguins take their afternoon wobble through their home, you’ll find it all below. Remember to check back regularly as we update this page each week with new activities and live events!
