Jr. Aqua Lab

Test your knowledge of science and nature, and learn about FPL’s Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center and the role it plays in the manatees migratory habits. For decades, manatees have been attracted to the warm-water discharges of FPL’s energy center, following a watery travel route that mother manatees have taught to manatee calves. The best opportunity to witness these gentle giants at Manatee Lagoon is Nov. 15 through March 31. Increase your chances to spot sea cows as cooler weather attracts larger pods of the marine mammals during this time of year. Explore scientific wonders showcasing marine applications at Manatee Lagoon. Join our Manatee Masters in a fun activity to better understand some of the wonders of the science world. Learn about migrating animals, water properties, phases of the moon, and much more. Activities will vary and are geared towards children ages 9-14.Free, but pre-registration is requested for planning purposes. Second and fourth Sunday of the month.
