Horseshoe Crab Celebration
Come learn about an unusual sea creature known as the horseshoe crab. The Delaware Bay shorelines are the site of the largest horseshoe crab spawning in the world. Each year, horseshoe crabs come ashore by the thousands to spawn on the sandy beaches during the full and new moons in May and June. Make a craft, meet live horseshoe crabs and learn what makes them so special.
