Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute — Attraction in Main Island

I wasn't sure what to expect going in but I ended up loving this museum! There's a real mix of displays from a stunning shell collection to the Bermuda triangle and shipwrecks and the displays flow into each other well. They're very interactive with case files to watch and even a walk-in shark cage too- it's a museum that definitely works well for different ages, I think! They've also turned the lift ride downstairs to the Bermuda Triangle into an expedition underwater into the triangle which is fantastic with some really interesting undersea views (it is in the dark with some mild danger from a sea creature/UFO if you're travelling with small children). As this ride takes you down, just make sure you've seen everything on the main floor so you don't have to backtrack. There's a nice gift shop and an adjacent restaurant too. There is an admission fee and they do take card...

We were taken here as part of a tour to the zoo and aquarium. We spent the majority of our time here and while the guide was very kind and informative. The place was not really interactive enough to capture the attention of our young children or us adults for that matter. I would definitely skip this place and head straight for the zoo/aquarium. There are no animals just a lot of shells and information about the local waters. It is not really there fault, but this was not what we signed on for at all for a “family FUN”...

BUEI is "out of this world" and I hope it stays there! At least until the Bermuda triangle exhibit is out. I'm not sure who this is for I would guess kids but almost every interactive exhibit is broken and when not broken they are so extremely loud I'm surprised you can't hear them from the airport. Check out any other museum if your an adult trying to learn about bermuda and take your kids to the excellent...
