Thursday, July 23 from 10-12am - Everyone is invited to come meet Chunk, a life-sized inflatable humpback whale!! "Let's dive in and explore the incredible world of whales- because the best way to learn about a whale is to step inside it!" "This interactive experience allows participants to step inside the inflatable whale, exploring its anatomy [and the wonders of marine life] while learning about the challenges faced by humpback whales and the importance of ocean conservation."

Chunk was a beloved humpback whale frequently seen in the Gulf of Maine, known for her distinctive dorsal fin, which had a "chunk" missing—hence her name. Her story lives on through educational initiatives like "Within the Whale," a program that uses a life-sized inflatable model
