You’ve seen him debate creationists and climate change deniers, launch missions to Mars and educate the public on a host of scientific issues on his hit PBS show.

Now, fans of Bill Nye, otherwise known as the Science Guy, can see him in person when he speaks at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk on Monday, Dec. 8.

Tickets, which went on sale to Aquarium members on May 8, are now on sale to the general public. They can only be reserved by phone at 203-852-0700, ext. 2206.

“The buzz and excitement about Bill Nye coming to The Maritime Aquarium may be greater than that for any guest lecturer I can recall,” Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director, said. “He’s been so good for so long — a favorite of kids and families over multiple generations. We expect that this will be a quick sell-out.”
