Ocean Institute
The Ocean Institute is open to visitors daily; weekdays, 10 am - 4 pm, and weekends, 10 am - 3 pm. As school children are engaging in ocean science and maritime history programs on weekdays, a smaller portion of the Institute is open weekdays and most of the facility on weekends. Enjoy hundreds of marine animals in aquaria, ocean-themed exhibits and take a tour of a tall ship. For an extra charge, take a tall ship sail or whale watching cruise.

Based on my research, the Ocean Institute offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that immerses visitors in marine science, environmental education, and maritime history. Its interactive exhibits and educational programs, ranging from field trips to whale-watching excursions, spark curiosity and deepen understanding of ocean ecosystems. Focusing on youth engagement, the institute provides a meaningful platform for learning and discovery, making it an excellent destination for both families and schools.
