2020 PROGRAMS
We have not yet opened our 2020 programs. Check back in spring for further details.
​Email programs@backtothesea.ca for any programming inquiries.
​

​Make a day of it!


We know it can be tricky to plan an outing for a group of kids! We want to help make it as easy as possible. To make the most of your outing, our program guide suggests activities within walking distance of the Touch Tank Hut, many of which are free. There are also many indoor and outdoor locations for lunch!

CONFERENCES AND OTHER EVENTS
We are currently unsure whether 2020 events will be possible for Back to the Sea. Check back in late spring for updates.

Please send your booking inquiries to info@backtothesea.ca.

Standard Setup 

We typically show up to events with the following:
  • One touch tank filled with local intertidal species (e.g. sea stars, urchins, snails, mussels, hermit crabs, etc.)
  • One sandy-bottom tank showcasing moon snails, clams and sand dollars (we do not guarantee all these species)
  • A variety of naturalized specimens with magnifying glasses for close-up observations
  • Plush toys 

Our knowledgeable and passionate volunteers remain with the touch tanks to interpret the animals and engage with visitors.
​Short presentations may also be offered. 

If you have a specific idea in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us. If it supports our mission and values, we will do what we can to accomodate! ​
​
Cost

Cost is dependent on the type of event and its location. The standard fee for a 2-3 hour event within 30mins of Downtown Dartmouth is $500. 

As a charitable organization, we do our best to keep costs to a minimum. All booking payments are invested back into the Society. Payments and donations are used to better our current programming or are put towards the future creation of the Back to the Sea Aquarium. 

If you are a non-profit, we will consider doing your event for a reduced fee if our resources allow it.  

Setup Requirements

To ensure the safety and well-being of our animals throughout the day, we ask that you please provide us with the following:
  • A parking space
  • An unloading area close to our setup location or, in the absence thereof, a dolly or platform trolley 
  • If the the location is not on a main level floor and there is no elevator, we may require a second set of helping hands capable of lifting heavy coolers and containers
  • An outlet close to the set-up location

For all questions please contact info@backtothesea.ca.
