Adults as well as children can enjoy the extra benefits membership brings, including night cruises, the Tallships Festival, and the Boat parade. They are fantastic fun! The Ocean in Motion program, which brings the Institute to schools and is supported by the membership program, was a terrific experience for my learning disabled 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Their first introduction to the ocean experience was magnificent.
