Weekend of the Spawning Moon

Travel back in time and witness the annual spawning of prehistoric horseshoe crabs. Outfitted with lamps and boots, and guided by the Naturalist, you’ll venture across the shallows of the Pond to watch these living dinosaurs carry out a ritual that’s more than 400 million years old. It’s as close as you will ever get to experiencing the age of dinosaurs first-hand. For those who prefer to remain firmly grounded in the 21st-century comforts of the Inn, we will have live crabs in tanks and a slide/video presentation in the Sea Room open to the public beginning at 5:00 pm. The moonlight outing will begin at 8:30 pm.

Please note, tickets purchased for this event are non-refundable unless the event is canceled due to inclement weather. Weekapaug Inn reserves the right to cancel or postpone water events and outings, at its sole discretion, due to weather conditions and other hazards.
