Maria Mitchell Aquarium & Sea Shop

Positive experience: This is a place to bring kids. If we had kids with us it would probably be a 4 or 5 star rating. The Aquarium is not an aquarium for adults. It will however teach kids about the importance and relevance of marine life.

Fantastic experience: What a lovely surprise. It might b small but with our lovely 2 guides they made it so interesting. Definitely worth a visit. Frances Nicol from New Zealand

Fantastic experience: Wow! 100% recommend stopping by this really cute little aquarium with kids. My 2 year old was amazed and loved holding and touching the creatures. The best part was actually how amazing the interns were. They walked us tank to tank making sure my son was engaged and got to learn about all the creatures there. Thank you so much to the interns for making it an amazing visit

Positive experience: Two small rooms with eight tanks. Just about $50 for 2 kids and an adult.

Fantastic experience: My son (8) spent so much time holding the sea creatures…! He loved it! The staff was amazing…knowledgeable and thoughtful. It is little, but exceeded our expectations!

Fantastic experience: Tiny but adorable! Writing this review to say how wonderful the staff was- great and knowledgeable group of young people. They really did a great job :)

Fantastic experience: What a great little aquarium! It was a personal, hands on experience with the sea life, with amazing interns-- one per family, it seemed like! It made a big difference for our eight year old, who can tune out in a traditional museum/aquarium.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly and informative staff- bring your little ones here and they’ll have a blast, particularly with the touch tank.

Fantastic experience: Great value when considering admission includes admission to four other historic and educational locations on Island. Diverse collection of sea life and educational opportunities

Fantastic experience: Very small aquarium, but loved the personal tour! They have a couple rooms and outside areas where they take the time to talk to you about all the sea life!

Fantastic experience: Had my Boy Scout troop here during a cycling trip that ended up being partially rained out. Its small, but a great place to bring very small groups to for a great educational experience. Staff was very well educated and trained. For the price, it's hard to beat.
