The staff and volunteers are wonderful! They enjoy teaching on the few exhibits that were available. I must say this museum is VERY SMALL, with about 7 different displays/tanks of marine life (i.e. artificial reefs, Sting ray tank, small sea turtle tank, 3 large tanks of various fish and eel) all in a large room. The Sting Ray tank where they allow you to touch the sting rays were a hit with my 2 year old and the opportunity to touch a non-venomous snake as well.
The enclosed outside boardwalk; has an area where you can view the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation project and see a few gigantic sea turtles. Unfortunately, there was not much information displayed on how they caught or found the individual turtles or anyone to speak about that area (when I visited).
The Bird Sanctuary was good--once again a small area. However, I did love the 2 American Bald Eagles they had and 3 hawks, 3 various owls. A small, but interesting display of amazing birds.
The cost of admission really is like giving them a donation. It's so cheap, only $5 for an adult and I believe $2 for children. Was it worth the money? Yes!
