2005-06 Education Programme |
|
|
| The
Aquarium of San Sebastián has improved its educational program
for the 2005-2006 school year with new visits! Come and explore
deeper in the sea knowledge!
Choose from a number of options ranging from theme-based visits, to "a la carte" tours, to the exceptional overnight experience "Sleep among the Fish". Plus, we've put together all kinds of activities to enjoy throughout the school year!!!
The programme is rounded out with a fun new activity for learning all about the marine world. |
|
This adventure, designed for kids 7 to 12, involves searching for 4 secret clues hidden in an interactive movie, which they'll find online in Take the Plunge and during guided tours of the Aquarium.
In order to play the game children have to pay close attention to win a juicy prize. On this page group leaders and students will find the information they need about each type of visit, along with a general overview of each programme.
We hope you'll take the plunge and join us on this fantastic marine adventure!!! And, needless to say, we look forward to any suggestions you might have to improve your Aquarium. |
