The Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium’s traveling touch tank brings live ocean animals to us! Break down common misconceptions surrounding sharks, as we highlight the unique adaptations these animals have to survive. The program will also allow participants to explore the important roles sharks play in the ecosystem, learn how the actions of people in the landlocked Tri-State area impact sharks that live thousands of miles away, and discover how people can help protect them. Afterward, participants may get their hands wet and touch some of these animals. Held at Galena ARC.
