Ocean Tots is SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium for education program for early learning. Ocean Tots uses play to explore the underwater world for young children, fostering a love of discovery and investigation to help young students develop skills to set them up for a lifetime of successful learning.
We provide the choice of one of the Ocean Tots topics listed below to suit your groups’ requirements. The session involves 30-45 minutes of learning activities in our education room with one of our marine educators. Students are encouraged to explore and imagine through puppet shows and a show-and-tell of authentic animal artefacts. Your group will then embark on a self-directed visit around the highlights of the aquarium, getting hands-on in our rockpools and viewing sharks, stingrays, turtles, and penguins.
