Within the Whale: Step Inside a Life-size Inflatable Humpback Whale!

NOTICE: This Event has been postponed due to weather conditions and rescheduled for February 28 from 10am-12pm. 

Join Boothbay Region Land Trust and our partners, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences and Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library for an unforgettable journey inside a whale. Experience science in a spectacular way by stepping inside “Chunk,” a life-size, inflatable humpback whale, and embark on an immersive journey through the wonders of whale anatomy and ocean ecology. This unique experience is part of the nationally recognized Within the Whale program, designed and guided by award-winning wildlife educator Jessica Woodend, creator of this one-of-a-kind marine science adventure.

Inside the whale, participants of all ages will explore 3D anatomical features and learn engaging facts about humpbacks and marine ecosystems — a perfect blend of fun and science that connects people directly with the ocean world. All three host organizations will have additional activities on hand. This is a great way to get out with the whole family during February break. This event is free and no registration is required.
