COUNTDOWN TO MANATEEFEST :

 

Manatee Rescue Adventure

Manatee Rescue Adventure is a new interactive experience offered at Manatee Lagoon which allows younger guests to experience a simulated manatee rescue.

Guests will “rescue” their manatee with a net, weigh and measure their manatee, and practice identifying manatee scars just like real conservationists. This experience allows guests to practice measurement and data recording skills while encouraging active imaginative play.

Be sure to visit and try out Manatee Rescue Adventure at Manatee Lagoon!

Offered: Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00am to 4:00pm

Location: The program is located on our exhibit floor, near the classroom.
