It’s tiny (literally it’s one room), but they do a good job with its size. First of all, it’s along the water and the staff are passionate about education. Signs explain each of the tanks and its habitants. There’s one tank that you can crawl into to poke your head through a bubble in the middle. There’s a kids corner with activities like coloring and origami. Public restrooms are nearby.

Small space but more than full of information! There is a stroller parking on the deck. A huge octopus and loooooooooong wolf eel? were my biggest wow today. Kids really liked there. The place is in the marina and you can enjoy the view of the yacht harbor too.

Super cute little marine center - loved how educational all the tanks were and they had some pretty cool fish and sea creatures. Also pretty awesome to see that they’re fully funded by the Port of Bellingham!

We've gone a few times and always had a good experience. Even as childless adults you'll have a good time. When we went today we got lucky and the employee was able to feed the fish so even though the touch tank was closed we still had a great time. Maybe even better than with the touch tank open.

This is a gem! A small sealife experience but so well organized to see lots of creatures up close and very well designed for kids especially. And it's FREE!

Very compact (just one room) but nice and free mini-aquarium. The touch tanks were closed due to a sea star disease but there are still lots of good views for little kids to see lots of crabs, fish, and other sea life. It doesn't take long …

What a fabulous community space! I can’t believe it’s free! The gal volunteering was obviously so passionate about her role and was more than happy to share fun-facts and answer my countless questions. I’m grateful for this opportunity to learn about marine life near me!
