Sometimes you need to skip the major zoos, and take the family to an animal attraction with a difference.
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center is the only center of it's kind within the state of New Jersey, and is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of stranded or otherwise stressed marine mammals and sea turtles.
In fact, over the years, the center has responded to nearly 5,000 strandings of whales, dolphins, seals and sea turtles - that's is a lot of marine creatures saved!
Now, your family can learn more about their organization, hear about their rescues, and inspire kids as they are educated about the ocean and all the creatures within it.
It's a family day out with a difference in New Jersey, so why not support this amazing cause, and give kids a day out they won't ever forget.
