Field Trips

Field Trips They'll Remember

At Tampa Bay Watch, providing memorable, hands-on science field trips is our specialty. We find that students learn best through interactive, age-appropriate lessons.

 

Led by experienced marine science educators, each program is aligned with Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and designed to engage students in hands-on, experiential labs and activities. Whether seining, dissecting, or identifying, students develop a connection with the estuary ecosystem and leave feeling inspired.

Estuary Education Is For Everyone!

Accessibility is central to our mission and programs, and financial assistance is available for qualifying groups. Our field trip request form includes an optional application.

Visit Us

We host field trip programs at two locations – the Auer Marine Education Center in Tierra Verde and the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center on the St. Pete Pier. We also offer Marine Science on the Move, a mobile classroom that brings the field trip directly to you!

If you are unable to visit both locations (which we strongly encourage!), here are a few hints to help you choose the Tampa Bay Watch destination that best fits your needs:
