4 reviews for Port Townsend Marine Science Center
I love this place! It's a Fort Worden Park. It lets us see and learn about the local marine life. It's right on the waterfront. It's at the end of a pier with absolutely beautiful scenery along the way. Once inside, there are 'touch tanks', fish tanks, and wall tanks.
I just found out there's an onsite research lab.
On land, there's the Natural History Exhibit.
Alot of information and fun for only about $5 for both. Can't beat it.
Touch and feel gooey things that live in the ocean! What could possibly be better than that? My two young kids got fabulous one on one attention from the dude working there and learned a lot.
SO worth a few bucks to get in and really understand what lives under the water. The 20lb starfish was worth the price of admission!

The best tiny marine science center by far! When my kids were younger, they loved the fact they could "pet" some of the critters without being edged out by pushy types like in bigger museums. At certain times during the year,one could see jellyfish from the dock around the museum.

A gem! This is a small, super-local, family-feeling non-profit. A visit to the PT Marine Science Center informs patrons of local marine life, geology, ecology, and general natural science. All of the animals on the pier in the Marine Exhibit are local and represent Puget Sound habitats. Beautiful links are made between the significance of geology and marine life. If you're a hard-core science nerd or just someone who appreciates interesting critters, you'll get something out of visiting PTMSC. Ask lots of questions- staff and volunteers love to entertain inquiry and will look info up if they don't know it first hand.
