Join us and the National Aquarium as we take a prehistoric dive into our oceans! This is a ticketed event. Tickets will be handed out one hour prior to the event's start time.

Ever wondered what lived in the ocean when dinosaurs roamed the earth? Join the National Aquarium as we explore the prehistory of four animals that live at the National Aquarium. Students will have the opportunity to map out their evolutionary journey through time to see and touch artifacts from these animals’ ancestors. This program is suited for all ages. Adults are welcome. 

This is a ticketed event. Tickets will be handed out one hour prior to the event's start time. Please contact potoref@ccplonline.org or call us at 301-375-7375 with any questions!
