Huntsman Marine Science Centre | Fundy Discovery Aquarium — Attraction in Town of Saint Andrews

Well, let me tell you, this place was a major letdown. The so-called "new" touch tank they have now is a measly 2x5 ft, and they only have star fish, crabs, and clams. Talk about a downgrade! The old touch tank area is practically empty. The whole point of the place was the big touch tank, so with it gone it lost all the excitement. Apparently, they made the change after Covid to interact more with guests and keep the animals safe. But seriously, were they not concerned before? Also, there was no seal anymore cause it never showed the whole time we were there. I spent a whopping half hour there, and let me tell you, it was boring. Definitely not worth the drive. Save your money and skip this place. Trust me, it's a big disappointment, especially for the kids.

The first picture is the “new” touch tank. The 2nd and 3rd picture show the old tank, and it's clear that they had almost...

Also they do not accept cash so we couldn't get the souvenirs at the gift shop we wanted. I thought these types of places had to accept all types of payment. Maybe I missed that when checking things online before I went...

Super small, quick to walk through. Although im sure my kid could have spend all day at the touch tank. The seals are neat, but their enclosure is so small. I feel terrible. The one seal was doing the same swim, over and over, just a big circle, which tells me hes bored and or stressed. Theres an interactive area for kids too, but two of them all the objects were taken out, i assume because of covid. It was quick and easy to sign in/pay. They dont accept cash. You can walk down to the bay of fundy as well. The gift shop was soooo small which sucked. 3/4 of it was ridiculously expensive stuffed animals. If i do ever come here again it wont be for a...
