Drop in to the Jones Beach Nature Center to meet resident aquatic animals. An in-house educator introduces visitors to hermit crabs and snails, some of which you might recognize from around Long Island 

The experience typically takes about 15 minutes to explore the different animal species and shells they house in the tank.
