“Seuss Fest is one of our favorite events of the year! We are able to take the fantastical work of Dr. Seuss and incorporate it into fun educational programs centered on a wide range of subjects like literacy, science, and conservation!” said Sara Boon, Education Specialist at Coastal Heritage Society. “It is great to see children interact with all of the fun activities happening on site and be transported into the world of Dr. Seuss by using their imaginations.”
