Sharks are one of the world’s most riveting creatures and SHARKFEST is a chance to learn more about them. Live sharks will be featured in the Corbin Pavilion for viewing. The museum and grounds will be full of opportunities to explore the diversity of sharks and their remarkable history on planet Earth. Learn fascinating ‘sharktoids’, examine evidence of prehistoric sharks, and take a picture with the life-size jaws of a Megalodon shark or in a real shark cage. Viewings of shark documentaries will take place in the Harms Gallery throughout the day. Take home a shark themed craft kit to continue the fun.
