Excellent aquarium to take your little ones for a quick and fun experience. Although the aquarium is small, it is the perfect size with a fair diversity of marine life to stop and keep them engaged. The visit would take one hour max. including the seal, which is the best attraction. Staff is very kind. You can find street parking close to the aquarium.

Small but fun and informative aquarium, recommend spending 20-30 mins here. Love the display of interesting facts/history above each of the different aquariums.

A nice little aquarium for short visits with lots of local history and information but has limited exhibits to explore. Unfortunately the touch tanks weren't open on the day of our visit otherwise I would probably have rated it higher.

The aquarium is very small and the signs for which creatures are in which tanks are dark and hard to read. Those are my only reasons for not giving it five stars. It's a lovely, little aquarium with some beautiful sea creatures, with a wealth of information available. We were lucky enough to arrive in late afternoon and observe feeding in several of the tanks, which was fun to watch. Entrance is free and donations are accepted. Definitely a place to visit.

Great small aquarium showcasing Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institute's work. It's a great place for a quick visit with a family.

It truly was great, but i expected more. I can't complain because it survives on donation and federal funding. Watch out for the posers. Photo attached.

Cute and well run aquarium I have been visiting for over 20 years! They have great educational details on various fish and invertebrates from the Atlantic! And well kept aquariums with many rescued animals! It is fun for all ages and a great spot to stop in if you have 15-30 minutes to spare!

Saw WHOI aquarium and science center. Donation entrance fee for both. Very small but with some interesting things in both. Ideal for young kids with short attention spans.
