🪸 BUILD A REEF! 🪸

Little hands can build a BIG reef! 🖐️🐠

Join us this weekend, August 15 & 16 from 10 AM–2 PM, for Build a Reef, a colorful hands-on activity designed especially with our littlest ocean explorers in mind!

Kids will trace their hand on colorful paper, cut it out, decorate their very own “coral” with all kinds of fun craft supplies, and then add it to our giant community reef. 🌈

As more little reef builders visit throughout the weekend, we’ll watch our blank ocean transform into one BIG, bright, colorful coral reef — made entirely by our guests! 🪸🐟✨

It’s simple, creative, a little messy (the best kind of activity), and perfect for preschool-aged kiddos who want to make their mark on the aquarium.

📅 August 15 & 16
⏰ 10 AM–2 PM
📍 Children’s Aquarium Dallas at Fair Park
🎟️ Included with aquarium admission & membership
