The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine offers experiential learning opportunities that strive to inspire imagination and, prioritizes discovery through exploration and play. Their program, A Whale’s Tail, is included in our schedule!
“Meet a life-sized whale named Piano, named after a humpback whale in the Atlantic Ocean. Take on the role of scientists as we observe whale anatomy, act out a dramatic food web, listen to whale songs, and explore whale artifacts. Together, we will explore Piano’s story and how she and other whales move through the world. The more we learn about how we are connected to the ocean, the more we can protect it.”
