Living Shores Aquarium hosts vibrant year-round special events you won’t find anywhere else. Kids and adults alike will love our aquatic-themed events and special activities. Check back to see what’s happening at Living Shores Aquarium on our events calendar, so you can plan to be at our next NH events.
Join us at 10:15am on select Mondays for a story time & fun!
Children ages 3 - 5 are invited to enjoy a themed story time with an interactive craft to take home. Each story time, we will spotlight a featured animal so our littlest pollywogs can see it up close, and guests can explore the aquarium before or after the program. Pollywog Pals runs from 10:15am to roughly 11:15am on select Mondays listed below, and each program will feature a different theme.
March 9 - Sharks🦈
April 13 - Hermit Crabs
May 11 - Snakes 🐍
A discount on food and drink will be available to use at the Bistro at Living Shores, and Dunkin' will be open, too! Although the activity is geared to younger children, participation of any age is always welcome. Participation in Pollywog Pals is included with the price of admission to Living Shores, including Story Land Platinum Passes.

You're invited to join us as a New Hampshire Fish and Wildlife Steward shares information about black bears in the state. You will learn about the natural history of this intriguing mammal, its habitat needs, and ways to avoid potentially costly conflicts. Also, hear about the amazing federal funding mechanism that supports long-term research and is largely responsible for our country's abundant fish and wildlife.
This is a free event. $5 drafts, other beverages, and a special menu lineup of food will be available at 5:00pm. The one-hour presentation will begin at 6:30pm in the Bistro at Living Shores.
*The main exhibit floor will not be open during this event.
