Dad & Me "Critter Cruise"

  Saturday, June 19, 2010  1:00-2:15pm at Viking Princess Cruises, MacMillian Wharf, Provincetown.  Come join other dads, fahter figures and children for this FREE event sponsored by the Cape Cod Children's Place.  The Critter Curise sails promptly at 1pm from MacMillan Wharf.  An expert naturalist will be our guide as we explore the local marine world.  You can pull up a lobster pot or a bottom dredge and see what's inside.  Explore some of the catch in the "Tide Pool Touch Tank", a miniature marine habitat that allows you to see all of the "critters" in a natural setting.  A naturalist will show you how to handle each one safely, and without injury to the animal.
Space is limited. Pre-registration is required.
Funding support provided by The Leaugue Club of Cape Cod.
