NORWALK, CT – Give yourself the gift of some solo holiday shopping on Sat., Dec. 21 while your kids spend a fun afternoon hanging out with sharks, seals and sea turtles during the “Drop ’n’ Shop” program at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.

From 1 to 4 p.m., The Maritime Aquarium has an ocean of age-appropriate hands-on activities and explorations planned for ages 4 to 10, giving parents three solo hours for shopping, wrapping or other holiday prep.

“With the new SoNo Collection mall just a five-minute walk from The Maritime Aquarium, the ‘Drop ’n’ Shop’ program offers a convenient way for everyone in the family to have a winning afternoon,” said Aquarium spokesman Dave Sigworth.

Kids will learn from Aquarium staff about the expert care given to the sea turtles, sharks, seals and other animals. They’ll meet and touch live creatures, and also make a holiday ornament to take home. The program ends with free popcorn during the award-winning IMAX movie “Superpower Dogs,” shown on the Aquarium’s six-story screen.

Cost for “Drop ’n’ Shop” is $40 per child ($35 for Aquarium members). Capacity is limited, so advance registration is required.
