Feiro Marine Life Center — Attraction in Port Angeles

We really enjoyed our visit today! The staff was not only warm and welcoming, but regularly did rotations walking around and answering questions. We had a super personable experience and learned a lot about the area for next to nothing $6 per adult entry. The tanks were clean looking, each display was well labeled, and sea life seemed to enjoy being there. There was also an exhibit recreating the bay estuary at Hollywood Beach which was super cool to have an explanation of the little environment there, animals and seaweed, that you could see before swimming (or not swimming) while viewing it through the window! Nice skeletons of turtles, orca skull, a truly thoughtful space that is small but packed out with exhibits. I hope they expand one day to include the octopus and more like the staff...

UPDATE: Please see the interesting information given by Melissa as a response to this review. I originally gave a lower ranking. Her response added points. Thanks a bunch!

Original: While preparing to leave, we heard one of the staff members talking about some renovations in the future. Very happy to hear that! The tanks looked filthy. Perhaps they’re supposed to look the way they do, but it should be explained. From the untrained eye, it just looks like these poor creatures are living in neglect. It is also much smaller than it looks. I would not have wanted to be there on a busy day.

That said, I think any place that is trying to do well for wildlife deserves funding. So go there and give them money, even if you opt not...

This was a unique excursion into a quaint, yet informative little marine center. Being a novice to anything ocean related, I enjoyed this very much. It was fun to touch the sea urchins, sea cucumbers and the starfish. As I walked along, one of the workers stayed close by and readily answered my many inquiries. If she was busy with other visitors, there is ample info all over to read and learn. It is very small, but had a ton to read, see, and discover. Bummer that the octopus was in hiding. I’m not sure I would have liked it if more people were there at the same time because it wold be a little claustrophobic and less likely to be able to utilize the touch tank. Try to go when it’s slow, but definitely go! It’s well worth...
