You may have heard of a “Nantucket Sleigh Ride” but have you ever heard of the Nantucket Terrane Wreck? Did you know that some of the rocks and pebbles found on Nantucket were formed deep beneath a mysterious archipelago off the coast of Africa over 600 million years ago? Join MMA Scientist in-Residence, Dr. Rich Blundell, on an odyssey of Nantucket’s geological oddities. We will travel to prospecting sites around the island looking for clues to reconstruct the geological and glacial story of Nantucket Island.

This program is designed to be interesting for adults and children ages 10 and older. Beach Geology meets at the the MMA Aquarium, 32 Washington Street, Nantucket. All registered children must be accompanied by a registered adult to participate in this program. Pre-registration is suggested, walk ins subject to availability. 

Cost Per Participant: $20

Cancellation and Refund Policy: We understand that plans change!  Because we are a small non-profit that benefits from the contributions made by our generous patrons and supporters, cancellations make it more challenging for us to manage program enrollment. Tickets are non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. However, tickets are eligible for an exchange before the date and time of the scheduled program subject to a $5 rescheduling service fee, per reservation, and program availability. If you wish to reschedule, please contact us at info@mariamitchell.org. 

In the event of a complete event or program cancellation by us ticket-holders will receive a ticket exchange or refund. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made in writing, and received, no more than seven days from the date printed on the ticket. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is based on current availability. No refund or credit will be given if the ticket holder requests a time that is unavailable for any reason. 

All offerings are subject to cancellation by the MMA at any time, with or without notice for reasons deemed necessary by the organization. In the event of a cancellation by us, we will make every effort to provide a ticket exchange at an amenable date and time to both parties and if we cannot, we will refund the purchase and credit the original payment method.
