Museum itself was lovely, one staff member was so passionate about her work and made it fun. Word of warning — Do not plan to visit at the end of the day. Doors were closing and locking behind us starting at 10min before close. All fine if they made that public, but for anyone trying to sneak in at the end of the day for the last 30 min, plan on only 10min of that time being enjoyable. Remaining staff seemed to only care about leaving right at advertised closing time.

The Marine science center is a small place with big experiences. The ray tank is everyone's favorite ?. You can watch turtles get medical care, seahorses find a mate, and birds be rehabilitated. The informative lectures are incredible and hands on. Inspirational for both young and old. A great organization. Buy a season pass, it pays for itself in 3 visits.Look at their schedule for special events; including turtle releases.

Great experience at the Marine Science Center!! We had an educational review of the center that included a medical procedure on a turtle, a super special treat to feed the stringrays, close-up views of spectacular fish, and bird sanctuary!!! The facility is also a rescue and rehabilitation center!!It was awesome and the staff was very helpful!!Thank you ❤️

Nice place to visit. However I feel like they should expand just a little more and add more marine life to the actual aquarium also the turtles should be put in a nice big open pool where you can look right at them through a looking Glass that would be nice. They should also add a coloring activity station so kids can enjoy coloring marine life pictures.

We visited on a Sunday in January. It was not very crowded. The place is not very large, but there is a lot of really interesting exhibits to see if you are into this stuff. We loved the touch pool, saw the sea horses being fed, explored the sea turtle hospital, did the nature trail, and checked out the bald eagles in the bird sanctuary. We easily spent around 1.5 - 2 hours there. They also have a nice gift shop. I can't believe I've never been here before. I'm going to look into going back with my cub scout group.

What a delightful and essential experience for young and old who wish to gain insight into the importance of the marine world. Of particular interest was the information on horseshoe crabs and their role in combatting harmful bacteria in humans. The staff is dedicated, engaging and professional.

Very family-friendly interactive learning center. Touch pool with sting rays were a highlight for the kids. I personally enjoyed the seahorse session by one of the interpreters. She was fabulous!!! Bird sanctuary and turtle ICU was eye opening to the real work being done behind the scenes.Small parking lot with overflow on the street. Took us 45 minutes to see and explore everything with a 10 yr old, teen and adults.Walked to lighthouse after for a nice afternoon out!
