Summer Shark Spree 2022
The Estuarium’s Summer Shark Spree is back again! Every weekend in June, July, and August, real shark tails and jaws from the WA Department of Fish & Wildlife will be on display at the Estuarium.
Join us throughout the summer for JAWSOME shark education and activities including trivia games, arts & crafts, talks by local shark experts and shark dissections!

The Esturarium’s Summer Shark Spree has not only real shark tails and jaws of local Puget Sound species, we also have shark themed crafts and games. Make a shark fin hat and try on our hammerhead shark vision goggles to become a shark! Dig through our sandy shark tooth dig and take home a genuine shark tooth! Color in one of our drawing sheets of sharks and have your art join our shiver of sharks on display! Test your knowledge on local shark species and even measure yourself against the lengths of common sharks!
With our special Shark Spree events and our many activities, you are sure to have a JAWSOME time at the Estuarium.
