Very informational.There are a few different houses to visit as well as a marsh tour.The touch tank was very good,kids get to climb on a lobster boat n dress as a fisherman.

Staff are very positive, friendly and knowledgeable. The displays are a little run down. They aren't too well organized. The touch tank was the coolest part.

I had been there as a young person and remembered it as being really interesting and that we got to touch some sea creatures so when we were in the area this year, it was a spot that I really wanted my young children to experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed learning about Lobsters, what is being done to insure a larger survival rate and what the challenges are related to increasing the population. The show and the talk were very informative as well as entertaining. We're glad we went.
