Mini-Me Science: Into the Wild – Florida Coastlines

Coastal plants, wildlife and conservation become the focus of a hands-on outdoor program for children ages 3 to 6 and their families. The session takes place Sunday, August 16 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park and is presented by the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science.

Nature walks, storytelling, mindfulness exercises and interactive investigations introduce families to the ecosystems along Florida’s shoreline. Activities are presented with Frost Science’s Museum Volunteers for the Environment program and the MORAES of South Florida sea turtle conservation team. Because the program falls during nesting season, participants may also have an opportunity to observe a sea turtle nest.

Admission is $70 for one child and two adults, $40 for each additional child and $10 for each additional adult. Snacks and water are included. The program takes place at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, not at Frost Science.
