★★★★Brittney HinesI haven't been to this spot since I was a little kid in elementary school. It was so good to visit again, and now, with my own kids. Sweet little hands on science center with lots of exhibits and stations for kids and adults to participate in. The kids (ages 15-6) loved seeing all the fish and ocean animals, and learning about their habitats. After exploring the center, we headed out to climb on the rocks, explore the paths and the beach. We loved it!! We will definitely be back.
★★★★★Kaitlin BulmerWe loved it! $2 entry for EBT card holders. It has the education for older kids, games and toys for toddlers and beautiful exhibits for all ages. We liked the touch tank best. The area felt very safe for children. We will recommend to all our friends!
★★★★Richard HolstSpend a couple hours here with fun for everyone. Great small aquarium and educational facility! Great staff and the exhibits were pretty well maintained. Fun for all ages.
★★★★★Nicole ChanAs a Boston wedding photographer, I loved photographing at the Seacoast Science Center. The views of the ocean and the natural coastal landscape create such a peaceful and scenic setting for a celebration. The day felt filled with laughter, love, and so many beautiful moments shared between family and friends. It is truly such a lovely place for a seaside wedding. IG @nicolechanphotography
★★★★★KatherineSeacoast Science Center is a Toddler and Family Must-Visit! We recently visited the Seacoast Science Center with our toddler, and we absolutely loved it! If you are looking for an attraction perfectly oriented toward young children, this is the place. The exhibits are designed brilliantly for little ones. My son was completely mesmerized by the different sea animals and the various tanks, especially the interactive touch tanks. The viewing areas are at a great height, allowing even the smallest guests to feel fully immersed without needing to be constantly lifted. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making the space engaging and accessible for curious kids. Beyond the engaging animals, the staff truly made the experience five stars. Every single person we encountered was incredibly helpful and genuinely sweet.
