Every Sunday
Spend your Sunday exploring Shellmaker Island at the Back Bay Science Centerโs Community Day. Pop in anytime to check out marine life exhibits, touch intertidal animals, and stroll the loop trail for some prime shorebird spotting.
Take a peek inside the teaching and aquatic labs, visit the touch tanks, and swing by the Native Plant Nursery to see whatโs growingโand maybe even help with seed collecting, sowing, or weeding.
Stick around between 12โ1pm for public animal feeding and some fun facts about the creatures who call the Back Bay home.
