Grades K-6, join us to visit the Whalemobile, a life-sized inflatable humpback whale. Once participants walk into the whale through a slit on the side and sit on the floor, whale expert Cynde McInnis discusses whale anatomy, conservation and the amazing, unexpected ways they connect to our daily lives. The Whalemobile travels the country, fostering a love of whales and inspiring the next generation of ocean stewards.
