About

No buses? Not enough chaperones? Travel restrictions? The Kemah Aquarium’s outreach programs provide wildlife education and conservation awareness to students in the safety of their own classroom. We bring the materials, knowledgeable experts, live animals, and all of the fun directly to you!

All of our programs are available for outreach, including programs with live animals and our popular hands-on dissection– Squidy Anatomy (we’ll clean up the mess too!). Each 30-minute program is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and can be tailored for all age groups and learning needs to support your student’s education.
