October is spooky season when goblins, ghouls, and monsters creep. Find out what strange creatures are lurking in the ocean depths at Mad Lab! Join us on Wednesday October 18th at 6pm for fun hands-on marine science activities around the theme of Sea Monsters. Come discover what leviathans, mermaids, and krakens really are. **Costumes are encouraged!!**

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (CBNERR) at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.

Reservations to this event are required due to limited space.
