Port Townsend Marine Science Center — Attraction in Port Townsend

We went here a year aog and it was semi nice. You pay your admission at the one building; they give you a "kork" to prove entrance to the other marine center across the road once you get there. This year there was barely anything in the main center but a few displays and a whale puzzle you could work on and a huge paper you could color on the table. THEN you can go across the street_ hand the people your kork (proof of admission) and then look around at the tide table creatures that last year you could TOUCH and they had a big old Octopus that was in a big aquarium there. THIS YEAR, I FEEL that $7 for each adult and $5 for children is but highway robbery for what this is. Yes, gains access to the little aquatic place across the road. But that's tiny, and you now CANT touch . Any of the creatures and the waters are all murkey and cloudy $24 for 4 people.. and they don't even have a military discount for a military base. VERY...

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, great interactive exhibits and plenty to learn...

Beautiful marine life on the pier side...
