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 July 9, we will be visiting a lab that studies zooplankton (animals that drift in ocean currents) from the Chesapeake Bay to Antarctica and the Nunnally Ichthyology Collection. In the ichthyology collection, you'll view preserved fishes collected from the freshwaters of Virginia to the deep sea. From salps to krill and gobies to angler fish, you'll see it all during this tour!
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.
