![]() However for my criticisms of the place the children had lots of fun and so did I playing with them. It’s nothing that couldn’t be fixed by spending some money updating toys. ![]() Albeit the venue itself is lovely and well thought out. So yes I was disappointed with the facilities on offer. Wasn’t impressed by paying £3 for a coffee though. We went on a week day and it wasn’t very busy so maybe this was why.Ĭafe was fine. Theee were two small childrens fold up chairs in the beach area both of which were horribly stained and torn and need replacing.Ģ cosy coupes were available to play with but neither had steering wheels. However only two puppets to play with and both were torn. There was a lovely wooden Punch and Judy tent. It all looked really tired, dented plastic and scratched up wood. We did find some playfood outside in what looked like window boxes. All that was in there was a broken wooden till and a torn dirty apron. It had colouring books and crayons but every single page had been coloured in. Not one item to play with like toy hairdryers or pretend make up so what was the point. The ‘make up room’ just had a dressing table with mirrors and lights. The other outfits were pirate clothes there weren’t in such a bad state. I.e the dress up room had 6 outfits the two girl dresses were completely torn and really dirty. KAZU News connected with some of the local scientists involved in the expedition while they were out at sea. Brimming with brooding moms, it’s the largest octopus garden ever discovered. What let the place down was that that toys to support the areas were broken, dirty or non-existent. The garden is a nursery of sorts, a place where hundreds of female octopuses come to lay and take care of their eggs. The under 3’s soft play area was really nice with two small ball pits. The beach area with sand and buckets and spades was really nice. The ‘room installations’ I.e the beach huts, circus tent, grocers shop are lovely and good quality.

My first impressions were that it must have been amazing when it first opened. But in this case, it's, you know, unfiltered livestream science,” Wood said.I took my daughter and her friend to the octopus garden having travelled from maidstone to do so. “Usually we get our science through produced documentaries or scripted television shows. She says they video chatted with students from across the U.S. Amity Wood, Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, was also onboard. The public was also able to ask questions about the garden via Nautilus Live. There's some relationship attracting the octopus to these areas,” said King. ![]() You can even see it shimmering in the video footage sometimes, like when asphalt shimmers on a hot summer day. King says they’ve discovered that warmer water is seeping out of the seafloor here. The underwater robots took samples from the area and collected temperature readings. We need to know what's going on here,” King said.Īnd that’s been the mission of this trip, to figure out why these octopuses are congregating here. They kept running into more and more octopuses. King was onboard and describes the moment as a slow realization. The octopus garden was first discovered in 2018 during the tail end of an expedition. The zone was added to the protected Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2008. It’s also home to corals and sea sponges the size of sofas. The Seamount is an extinct volcano that last erupted about 10 million years ago. It’s located about 50 miles off the coast of San Simeon in the Davidson Seamount Management Zone. King says this is only the second cluster of brooding octopuses ever found and by far the largest. As the scientists watched the footage inside the Nautilus, the public has been able to see it too, from their living rooms, classrooms and more.įemale octopuses come here to lay and take care of their eggs. King says these robots, called Hercules and Argus, worked together to collect samples and capture video. Onboard were two remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, that can operate in the deep sea. The expedition was a team effort between NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and Ocean Exploration Trust, a nonprofit that owns and operates the trip’s exploration vessel. It's clearly a place humans can't go scuba diving,” said Chad King, lead scientist on the cruise and a research specialist with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. ![]() The garden is a nursery of sorts, a place where hundreds of female octopuses come to lay and take care of their eggs.
