Neat
place
for
kids
and
adults
alike
to
visit.
There’s
two
inside
areas,
one
dedicated
to
turtles
and
one
to
other
marine
life.
Lots
of
info
to
absorb
and
some
kiddie-friendly
activities,
including
hands
on
exploration
of
different
shells,
full
sized
ocean
life
bones,
and
a
touch
tank
type
exhibit.
The
marine
life
building
has
a
bunch
of
tanks
with
different
fish
and
even
a
shark.
Outdoors
areas
include
a
walk
along
a
path
into
the
marsh
area
that
includes
signs
about
area
plants.
There’s
a
dock/pier
at
the
end
with
expansive
views
of
the
wetlands.
There’s
a
second
elevated
walking
path
that
takes
you
out
over
the
marsh
as
well.
It’s
cool
when
the
tide
is
going
out
as
you
can
literally
watch/listen
to
the
area
drain.
All
of
the
staff
we
encountered
were
very
friendly
and
interested
in
engaging
with
young
kids.
There’s
summer
camps
that
run
out
of
the
Institute,
as
well
as
daily
activities
(marsh
walks
with
a
guide,
feedings,
etc)
Highly
recommend
for
family
or
even
solo
adults.
Worth
the
small
entrance
fee
($8
adults,
not
sure
about
kids)
as
I’m
sure
the
money
is
invested
back
into
the
research
and
institute
upkeep.
There’s
also
a
small
gift
shop.
