This is an amazing museum with lots of great exhibits and a wonderful gift shop. Great hands-on activities for kids and adults. Not too large; easily done in an hour or do. There was an art show...

Enjoyable little local natural history museum. Little out of the way. We just happened on it and gave it a try.

Local gem of a museum teaching about area people and natural history. Adjacent to Seabright beach so bring a picnic lunch and make a beach day of it. Outdoor amphitheater. Don’t miss the touch pool inside and life size whale replica outside. Perfect for climbing. Limited hours and street parking. Entrance fee unless a member. School groups welcome.

Cozy, quiet, yet kid friendly environment. Very conducive to learning through observation and light play. We will be back.
