Marine Discovery Day

Curious what shark teeth are like up close, how shrimp are caught, or about what fish call Mississippi home?


Bring the whole family—especially that future marine biologist in your life—for a day packed with hands-on fun and coastal discovery! Hosted by the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (along with other awesome coastal partners), this event features live demonstrations, cool sea creatures, and activities that spotlight Mississippi’s coastal wildlife, seafood industry, and fishing culture. It’s science, seafood, and serious fun—all in one place!


This event is included with MMNS Foundation Membership or regular museum admission.
