The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature
WANT TO GET UP CLOSE WITH MANATEES?
SEE AN UNBELIEVABLE PLANETRIUM SHOW?
WELL, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!
Join us for a guided tour of the museum, a manatee presentation and a planetarium show.
Modeled after a cypress spring, the newly renovated Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat holds 60,000 gallons of water and houses manatees that were rescued from the wild after they became sick or injured. This second-stage facility offers manatees the opportunity to gain exposure to natural foods and feeding strategies while gaining weight for their return to the wild. The exhibition allows above and underwater viewing and offers guests information about the anatomy and life history of manatees, including the challenges they face in the wild.
The Planetarium is the premier astronomy facility on Florida’s west coast. It is an immersive experience in the 50-foot full-dome theater with incredible Digistar 6 software and a dual projection system. The combination offers a breathtaking, dark-sky environment.
Following the tour, please join us for lunch, your own expense, at “Pier 22,” a short walk from The Bishop Museum.
