    Unique, educational and fun for adults and children!
    Spent 4 hours at the museum including the 45 min $10/pp boat ride. Excellent museum for kids and adults. Can see shipbuilding, go inside a tugboat, go up in a very unique lighthouse and enjoy scenic views, check out old crab-picking equipment and oyster boats. Loved reading about all the Lighthouse keepers! There is even more to see! Use the oyster rake to see what you can pull up! Buildings are spread out, can be hot, they sell Bottled water for $1. We got lucky enough to see at least 7 pods of dolphins in the harbor on the boat ride right by the boat. Artists painting from the museum buildings was fun to see. Great museum to tell you about the area.

    Great way to spend some time!
    Great up to date museum with lots of interactive exhibits, both indoor and outdoor displays as well as land based and marine items to view. It required a good amount of walking but was all very well marked with lots of information. Lots to see and lots to do! Would definitely recommend this museum on a rainy day as it is also close to downtown and various dining options.
