Join us for this year’s Open House at the Horn Point Laboratory. Learn about cutting edge research our faculty and graduate students conduct in the Chesapeake Bay and across the world's oceans. Explore environmental science through exhibits, presentations and hands-on activities. Visit one of the East Coast's largest oyster hatcheries to explore the iconic oyster from baby spat to restoration sanctuaries.
Children can enjoy games and interactive activities, and receive a free t-shirt. This is a great family event, so plan to spend some time with us and learn about the world of a marine scientist!
"This is the best day of the year for the community to learn about the science of the Bay," said Horn Point Laboratory Director Mike Sieracki. "Everyone at the lab is on deck to explain their research with activities and displays that make it easy to understand."
