This museum is very small but has so much to offer. Very well documented and maintained by the College of the Atlantic students. Never knew that taxidermy could be a college course. Loved that it...

This was such a great spot to visit with the kids! So much to learn about the animals in the area AND they have a touch tank. Admissions is free but they take donations. Definitely recommend!

The touch tank was the perfect activity for a rainy day. Led by two Park rangers who clearly enjoy their jobs, we learned a lot, and my kids got to hold a sea star and a sea snail.
