Oceans of Fun for the Whole Family

May 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Want to teach your children about preserving our coastal resources, while engaging them in free family fun? Then don’t miss Ocean Fun Day at Sandy Hook this Sunday! Your kids will get to explore our shore through hands on science-based activities for all ages.

At this fun-packed event, hosted by the NJ Marine Sciences Consortium, youngsters can watch fiddler crab races, learn to fish (responsibly) through one of the youth fishing clinics, go on an energy scavenger hunt or check out the Monmouth County Science Fair entries, which will be displayed and judged at the event. There will also be plenty of opportunities to learn about the beaches and bays of NJ through hands on tours and exhibits.

And don’t worry, there will be fun for all ages. Little ones can enjoy the touch tanks, seining for sea life, making shore crafts or having their faces painted with their favorite sea creatures.   In it’s 8th year, there will be nearly 50 exhibitors, more than ever before, offering hands-on exhibits, classes, nature tours and children's activities.

And for mom and dad, there’s a unique opportunity to tour the Sandy Hook historic army sites.

The fun (and education) begins at 11:00 AM this Sunday. (If you can’t make it Sunday, take a drive to Island Beach State Park on Saturday, May 21, for its Ocean Fun Day fun by the same crew, same time. )

{ Sunday, May 22 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM }
