Bring your school group to learn of the "Tides and Times" of
Ocean City, Maryland!

Give your students a hands-on learning experience exploring the cultural and natural history of Ocean City, Maryland. During your visit, students will learn about the heroic efforts of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and discover the tools and techniques used to rescue mariners in distress.

We also offer an engaging aquarium program, where students can meet some of the local marine life that call our waters home. Animals on exhibit include seahorses, a horseshoe crab, a diamondback terrapin, and various native fish. This interactive program provides students with the opportunity to interact with select program animals under staff supervision.
