Guppies Getaway is Mote Marine Laboratory's drop-off program for young ocean fans ages 7 to 12. It is held in the new Teaching Laboratories at Mote Science Education Aquarium, the lab's University Town Center campus. Mote staff fill the session with hands-on activities, ocean-themed games and some real marine science, while parents get time for dinner or holiday shopping. There is at least one adult for every ten children, preregistration is required, and Mote makes no exceptions to the age range. The program stays in the labs, so it does not include admission to the aquarium itself.
