More Information

Ever wonder what’s inside of a squid? What makes them uniquely able to survive in the ocean? Or how do they move around? October 10th is Squid/Cuttlefish Day, so join (a little early) in this program where participants will engage in a hands-on dissection to learn all about the external and internal structures that make a squid one of the coolest animals out there!

Class is intended for kids ages 10 and up, or 7+ with an adult (no charge for the adult).

Note: Participants will be doing a dissection. Squid used for dissection are frozen, California Market Squid.
