Pristine Seas School Holidays - Phytoplankton Organisms

Get creative and construct your very own big phytoplankton sculpture, inspired by real microscopic life in the ocean!

These tiny organisms may be invisible to the naked eye, but they have a massive impact. Smaller than the width of a human hair, phytoplankton produce much of the world’s oxygen and support life across the entire marine ecosystem. With over a billion of them in the sea, they’re some of Earth’s most important—and overlooked—organisms.

Ages 4+. All children must be accompanied by an adult. No booking is required, but spaces are limited so we suggest arriving early to avoid a wait. All materials provided.
