Only open on weekends. (Lighthouse tours, museum, aquarium.) The marine science center left a reply, which explains why everything is closed except weekends. I would love to visit EVERYTHING, and bring the grandkids, but there is a reason we can't do weekends. Several in my family can't do crowds, so we go during the week. Hopefully when everything comes together they will have some weekday hours.

Educational fun stuff. Nice views outside on pier. Viewing boat launch can be entertaining. On clear days the view account the sound to the mountains is worth the trip. So much to explore. Wheelchair ♿️ accessible. Good fun for all ages. Take your time to enjoy all there is here.

Went here about 10 years ago and it was great with touch tanks for interacting with some of the wildlife which helped me appreciate these creatures better. You can no longer interact with the animals (which is what made this place unique and special) and the $7 entry fee is a bit steep for the amount of experience you get between this place and the small children's museum. I feel like they should offer gloves to allow you to touch the animals or the staff interact with them in front of you to give an experience. I would recommend to bring small children who are interested in sea life....

Update- I went on a elementary field trip with my child. We spent no more than 10 minutes in the aquarium. The rest of the time was spent in a backroom learning about overfishing and foodwebs. REALLY disappointed! Would not recommend this aquarium for educational purposes. Aug 2019-This is a science center not to be missed. The staff is friendly and willing to answer questions. There is a wide variety of sea life you can touch and the set up of different ocean zones is very...

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center is amazing!!! You can spend hours and hours just in gazing at all the amazing sea stars, fish, and all sorts of other amazing sea creatures.

They also have an amazing new addition a young octopus named Matty that is so beautiful and smart.

Visiting the Port Townsend Marine Science Center is perfect for a rain day. You could also experience their "Learning From Orca's Exhibit" going on directly across from the Marine...
