Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons. For updates, click here.

Event Details

The vast majority of the ocean lies within a zone where light is either extremely limited or absent. Known as the Deep Sea, it is perpetually cold, dark and under immense pressures from the weight of the water above. The Deep sea inhabitants have special adaptations to help them survive including bioluminescence, extendable jaws and stomachs, a watery composition and more. Join Dr. Marianne E. McNamara for an exciting and educational program.
