Dive beneath the waves, explore creatures of the deep & learn how we all impact the world's oceans. You'll meet ocean ambassadors & uncover secrets from sandy beaches to the deep dark abyss.
This summer we are transforming the gallery into an ocean. Walk along our beach and into a coral reef you get to help us build each Monday! Or have fun exploring our underwater tunnel and the SS Sabatini. While exploring, don’t forget to look up. Discover how we can help take care of the oceans and waterways from here in Topeka, Kansas.
You will meet some ocean ambassadors and uncover secrets about the various parts of the ocean from sandy beaches to the deep dark abyss. Every Monday you can work with us on art and craft projects to expand the exhibit and add to our indoor ocean.
The 21st annual art exhibit for children is made possible in part by The Library Foundation through contributions from the Sabatini Family Foundation.
