Public tour of the teaching marsh

Join us for a tour of VIMS! During this 2-hour guided tour you will receive an overview of VIMS, a guided tour of our Visitors Center, and you will visit two of our research laboratories where you will talk with our scientists. On August 16, we will be visiting the Coastal Geology lab where you'll learn about VIMS' research on our ever-changing shorelines and barrier islands. We will also be touring the VIMS Teaching Marsh where you will learn about the importance of wetland habitats and how wetlands respond to sea level rise. 

Tours of VIMS are designed for adults. Children must be at least 9 years old to attend. Space is limited and registration must be completed at least two days in advance. 

Registration for this event is closed. Please join us for one of our other public tours this summer.
