The Gulf of Mexico offers a wealth of material for developing minds and curious senses in the Dauphin Island (Ala.) Sea Lab’s Ocean's Alive, a half-day adventure for children ages 5 through 8 and their parents and grandparents. Combining arts and crafts with a beach walk adventure, the educators at the DISL usher participants into a deeper appreciation of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Lessons in marine biology, ecology, and zoology are introduced in hands-on activities so fun, the children will discover that learning’s a blast. Next Ocean’s Alive adventures are July 19 & July 25.
