COME AND HAVE FUN AT THE MUSEUM WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
In the new visiting area at the Oceanographic Museum, you can have an unforgettable face-to-face encounter with sea turtles.
Via an outside trail that takes you past the rehabilitation pool, looking out over the Mediterranean, and a temporary exhibition trail on the first floor of the Museum, you can learn about these great migrating animals, from their life cycle to the threats they face.
With their play booklet in hand, young explorers aged 6-12 can set off in search of clues as they tackle a series of assignments.
During the course, these young visitors will be made aware of the importance of saving sea turtles.
If they make it to the end, they win a “Turtle Protector” certificate approved by the Museum staff.
*The play booklet is available (free) from the cash desks for families with children aged 6-12 on Wednesdays, at weekends and during school holidays.
