NORTH CAROLINA AQUARIUM
MORE TIME FOR FUN ^
For the first time in its
20-year history, the N.C.
Aquarium has increased ^
. .... NOiTHCAROllNA
Its summer visiting hours. AQp^RIUMS
From now through Sept.
2, the aquarium is open daily from 9 a.m.
to 7 p.m. Films, videos, touch tank talks,
beach walks, salt marsh trips, canoe
excursions and other programs will fill the
extended hours. Pick up a summer calendar
for a complete listing of daily activities.
Aquarium visitors can also enjoy the new
outdoor "Salt Marsh Safari" boardwalk,
which meanders along Bogue Sound. The
boardwalk ends at the Alice G. Hoffman
Nature Trail, where visitors can take a short
hike along a loop trail through the maritime
forest. Late afternoon and early evening are
good times to catch a glimpse of native
wildlife in the marsh and forest. Wading
birds, shore birds and raccoons are
common sightings, and there are occasional
reports of red fox. Because the marsh and
maritime forest are ideal habitats for insects,
insect repellent is strongly recommended.
Take advantage of the aquarium's
extended hours. Bring friends, family, and
especially the grandchildren for an "after 5
p.m." visit. Maybe even sign on for a late
afternoon field excursion. See you there!
