parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the Fun & Learning section of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's site is created specifically for kids. There's no unsavory language, violence, sexual stuff, or bad behavior. (Kids can easily access the aquarium's main site from the kids' section, but it's as squeaky clean as the kids' section.) Activities are varied and include creative art projects, memory games, and interactive learning. Many of the activities require a printer, and some require materials like scissors and paint. Younger kids might need some help navigating around.
Educational value:
Kids learn about various marine ecosystems and wildlife. The site promotes the importance of saving our oceans and shows examples of kids getting involved. There's also career advice for kids interested in marine-related jobs.
Violence:
Nothing in kids' section, but the aquarium's main site mentions predators killing their prey and other wildlife survival behavior that may scare little ones.
Sex:
Nothing in kids' section, but mating habits of marine animals may crop up on the aquarium's main site.
