The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week by offering free admission to educators and one guest on Sunday, May 3.

The event is designed to recognize the commitment of teachers while providing an opportunity for them to explore the aquarium’s exhibits and educational programs, which are tailored for students from preschool through college levels.

Between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., attendees are invited to Oyster Hall for complimentary coffee, tea, or juice. During this time, aquarium educators will be available to discuss how the facility can serve as an extension of the classroom.

“Our goal is for every teacher in the region to view the Aquarium as an extension of their classroom,” said Tom Naiman, vice president of education at The Maritime Aquarium. “We’re excited to welcome teachers to the Aquarium and showcase how our exhibits and programs can support and enrich classroom learning through hands-on engagement.”

To receive complimentary admission, teachers must present a valid school ID at the time of entry. Additional guests beyond the one included with the educator may purchase tickets at standard admission prices, either on-site or in advance.

The Maritime Aquarium is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional information regarding educational partnerships and exhibits is available at the aquarium’s website.
