St. Armands Family Day will create fun, family-friendly activities and entertainment with unique twists and themes all summer long. This monthly program series will be hosted within the Circle’s iconic and accessible outdoor activity spaces on the last Sunday of each month, from 11 am to 1 pm. This month, representatives from Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium will be out on the Circle passing out education materials, answering questions and leading activities focused on sea turtle nesting on the Florida Suncoast. This kid-focused popup will help kids of all ages (and parents) discover the unique characteristics of sea turtles, their nesting habits and what is being done to preserve this endangered species. Between learning sessions, kids can color, enjoy crafts and enjoy the unique sounds of nearby, live steel drum performances.
