Come visit the engaging exhibits that explore the ecological and economic value of local bays and estuaries. The Bay Education Center exhibit hall is free and open to the public, Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 1 until 4 p.m.

Visitors are invited to experience Science on a Sphere® to learn more about Earth’s oceans, land, atmosphere, and planetary neighbors. Science on a Sphere® is a spherical display system created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that helps visitors see how global patterns, such as ocean circulation, weather, planetary movements, and climate affect our world. Science on a Sphere® presentations are offered free to the public. The following is this month's schedule for Science on a Sphere Presentations.
