The first aquarium in the USA!

Small
This aquarium is definitely a hole-in-the wall space in Woods Hole. The aquarium is very small and consists primarily of fish. But it is free and is something to do if you are in the area. The employees are very nice. There are only 2-3 parking spaces in the actual parking lot for guests so be prepared to use the metered street parking around the corner on Water Street. Even though the address says it’s on Water Street, the road turns into Albatross Street when you turn the corner and you’ll see the aquarium on the left. There is also a nice view of the harbor from the top of the stairs of the aquarium when you are exiting.
