With many members of our team parents themselves, we understand the complexities of balancing home schooling, hybrid learning and working from home. That is why we've created Mystic Aquarium Digital; an online platform featuring a collection of digital learning tools including a line up of daily Facebook or YouTube lives during the week.   Learn More     RUBBER DUCKY, YOU'RE THE ONE   DYK that January 13 is National Rubber Ducky Day?

This year, we have reimagined animal encounter programs. Each unique experience fosters a deeper appreciation for the animals, so our animal care professionals worked hard to develop new, unique and engaging programs that you can participate in at the Aquarium or virtually in the comfort of your own home!   On-Site Encounters Virtual Encounters     YOUR GO GREEN CHALLENGE:   ✔️ This winter, consider alternatives to common ice maintenance products. Environmentally-friendly options include clean clay cat litter, sand, coffee grounds or fireplace ash for traction on sidewalks. Vinegar can be used to de-ice your windows but you’ll just have to be careful not to get it on the paint. Alternatives to ice melt include sugar beet juice solution which has even been used by some municipalities as it doesn’t impact roads as much as pure salt.     #DYK that the Mystic Aquarium community has unlocked hundreds of dollars in donations from AmazonSmile!
