    Very interesting and interactive. Also ♿ very accessible. Don't trust Google telling you that it's an 18 minute walk from the Hamilton ferry though. Easily 30-35 minutes. Also sidewalks are not the best for wheelchair access. A taxi would have been better.

    We were taken here as part of a tour to the zoo and aquarium. We spent the majority of our time here and while the guide was very kind and informative. The place was not really interactive enough to capture the attention of our young children or us adults for that matter. I would definitely skip this place and head straight for the zoo/aquarium. There are no animals just a lot of shells and information about the local waters. It is not really there fault, but this was not what we signed on for at all for a “family FUN” day in Bermuda.

    Great visit for first time visitors to the island, as it shows a great deal of history of Bermuda. Often they have expositions of other ocean related themes.

    Wonderful place to visit for the entire family. Lots of interesting information about the island but also about climate change and the environment. Super cool unique and eco friendly toys in the store. A place will definitely come back to next time we visit Bermuda.

    Great place for Kids to Understand Underwater life :) Staff is amazing! I believe BUEI offers one of the best event rental spaces with class. We have been coming here for years for events and must say we are delighted every time. Staff is never hesitant to stay an extra hour or 2 in fact so that you can set up and tear down conveniently..

    Great facility. Lots to see and lots of information provided in different methods. Both my child and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Great location, an easy stroll from the ferry terminal. The selfie station was super fun, as was the shark cage.

    This museum has a great sea shell collection, you can learn a lot of diving and sailing history. Lots of artefacts from shipwrecks! They also have displays with all those bermudian triangle theories and a special elevator with adventure video which is weird and funny :-)

    Cool please to learn about Bermuda and some of its history. Also there is a huge sea shell collection. The exhibits look to have been updated and are interactive for adults and kids.

  • 4/5 Grace M. 7 years ago on Google
    $15 per adult for non members. Great rainy day activity if you're visiting the island. Great for kids, they also host events and movies etc. There is a nice place for food downstairs, and a gift shop upstairs. Interesting information about environmental impact from plastic, Americas cup, Local wrecks and lots more.

  • 4/5 Blake S. 8 years ago on Google
    BUEI is a great local resource for learning about a range of things related to Bermuda's relationship with the ocean. Fun and interesting for both children and adults. It's also a popular place for school field trips.
