This is a fantastic place to visit with children. You won’t see anything crazy but you will get to touch sea urchins, hermit crabs, starfish. You will see all the local fish up close. Very cool spot that is very fun.

Small but fun for 45minutes. Had the place to ourselves because of COVID-19 which was kind of nice.
Limited parking - majority were parked in the side of the road. Displays were small. Kids enjoyed touching animals.
A seasonal ocean aquarium that has a catch and release policy for their displays, so the ocean life changes from year to year. All local specimens, it is an excellent place to view what is found right off the shores. They have a fun display for kids to play with pipes for the purpose of directing water flow into containers. At the end of the summer season, the locals partake in the safe release of all displays back into the wild.
My son has been a loyal fan since they opened it's our underwater adventure on dry land lol
The kids stayed for ages at the tanks where they were able to touch sea stars, crabs and anemones. Super nice operations! Cozy atmosphere. Will take you 30-60 minutes max but you can of course stay longer.
Not going to lie, one of the most fun bits is squeegeeing off the condensation on the tanks to see the animals! Everyone gets their own squeegee. The animals are mostly caught in the spring and released in the fall, except for the fancy lobsters. It was a neat stop, but I certainly wouldn't anticipate it taking more than an hour to go through.
Delightful place! Great way for kids to see animals in deeper ocean! They sell eco stuff too like steel straws and beeswax wrap....cute gifts.
