Three words: Live otter cam! Follow the furry critters at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque and learn how you can help protect their natural habitat, on Earth Day and year-round.
The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque is hosting a party for the planet. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 22, visitors can learn about agriculture and watershed conservation efforts through several Earth Day activities.
At the museum’s boatyard, enjoy music from Americana duo Barefoot & Sunshine while sipping on a Conservation Cream Ale from Dimensional Brewing Co. A portion of the ale sales will support the museum’s conservation efforts.
Other activities include “creature features” in the museum’s 4D theater (the fourth dimension involves wind and mist), stingray feedings, behind-the-scenes tours, and a presentation by Hy-Vee on sustainable seafood. General museum tickets are required, but visitors who bring canned food to donate to the local St. Vincent de Paul food bank can get a $5 discount.
