Play Date at NMNH: Teeth in the Ocean
Kids & FamiliesTuesday, March 17, 2026, 10:30am – 12pm EDT
Join us for special family play dates with museum educators!
This Tuesday is all about ocean animal teeth! Families can make close observations of different sizes and shapes of ocean animal teeth and learn about how different shaped teeth help animals eat. Come and join us for a fun time learning through play, art, and exploration!
The event is part of our drop-in program, Play Date at NMNH. Play Date at NMNH is a program designed for early learners (ages 0-5), their caregivers, and families.

If this happens, please enjoy other areas of the museum and try again later in the program.
