New Temporary Exhibit, Wild Kratts®: Ocean Adventure!
January 20, 2021 – Sarasota
Wild Kratts®: Ocean Adventure! – an interactive exhibit based on the popular the top-rated PBS Kids TV series “Wild Kratts®” – is coming soon to Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium. The exhibit focuses on building STEM-based skills for children and families as they explore marine animal habitats and the creatures within them. The exhibit — created by Minnesota Children’s Museum in collaboration with the Kratt Brothers Company — will be at Mote Aquarium from Jan. 30 to June 6. This special exhibit is free for Mote Members and included in general admission, and will be located in Mote’s WAVE Center. Additional details are available at mote.org/wild. This exhibit is sponsored locally in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues.
“We are so excited for visitors to Mote Aquarium to explore and interact with this exhibit during their visit, as we are always working to provide our guests new opportunities to learn about our oceans in a fun and entertaining way,” said Mote’s Associate Vice President for the Aquarium, Evan Barniskis. “We believe that children, and their parents, will really enjoy the immersive play that Wild Kratts®: Ocean Adventure! offers, and like every exhibit at Mote, we hope they will leave with a greater understanding of the role they can play in protecting our ocean ecosystems.”
About the exhibit:
Wild Kratts®: Ocean Adventure! transports visitors to the Wild Kratts world, immersing them in whole body explorations of ocean habitats. Using Wild Kratts technology and the powers of science and teamwork, children and their families will join the Wild Kratts team to solve problems, help marine animals, discover incredible creature powers, and go on a mission to foil the villains’ nefarious plans.
“This exhibit will get kids moving and thinking while they explore ocean environments and important concepts in science and the natural world,” said Chris Kratt, executive producer of Wild Kratts and co-founder of Kratt Brothers Company.
Visitors will explore animal habitats, including:
Seashore
Shallow sea
Deep sea
Kids and families will get the chance to learn about and try out various Creature Powers® such as:
Crawl through an anemone and hunt for lunch like a lobster
Create your own dolphin name
Roll up your sleeves and get to work at a shark cleaning station
Hunt like a dragonfish in the dark depths of the sea
And much more!
Guests will also have a chance to see their creations come to life with a digital drawing interactive.
