It was a really foggy and rainy & cold day so we had to switch our plan from going to Hurricane Ridge to go here. Our daughter really enjoyed learning marine life; she spent a lot of time at the "Touch" places there. She really liked the octopus. It only cost $4.00/adult and $2.00/child ( I think 5 years old and older.
The Feiro Marine Center is located on Port Angeles Pier. It's a kid-friendly, family-friendly place, including "touch tanks" where you can get up close and personal with local fauna. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. The hours vary; open more often in the summer. This is a great place to see creatures you will never see in day-to-day life, and to learn about the area.
Stopped in at this marine life center at the waterfront. Lots of exhibits where you can touch the marine life -- starfish, etc. Would be very good to excellent for families. Note that in the harbor outside the center, you can often see harbor seals.
Not just informative but fun for all. Hands on to some creatures and up and close to others. Staff are ready to assist and give their expertise.
This was a nice stop in our adventure. The lady that was here today was very informative on all of the Ocean species that they have on exhibit. They even have a touching tank. Being from the Midwest, it was fun to learn about the life cycles of aquatic creatures we never see. They have an octopus in one aquarium, I did not know the females only live for one cycle of laying eggs.
We came across this place while walking by the water, and decided to check it out. The admission was a suggested donation... don't remember what it was exactly, but I remember that it wasn't too expensive. The staff was very knowledgable and happy to speak with you about any questions you had. I wouldn't make a special trip just for here, but if you're in the area, stop on by.
A small but interesting hands on aquarium located right on the water's edge. Fun place for young and old kids. The sole proprietor was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Had a brief but fun visit.
Great staff. Very keen to tell us about what they had. Hands on tanks to touch and feel sea life. Pleasant way to pass a few hours
Had some time to kill in Port Angeles so dropped in to experience this non-profit Marine Life Center.Being off-season the center admission by donation. There were a few families with young children enjoying the hand-on tanks. The volunteer docents were very knowledgeable and would answer any and all questions asked about the variety of shore life on exhibit.We had the opportunity to see the resident octopus being fed. Was a great way to spend time and learn about marine biology.
This is as close as you can get to the local population of Crustaceans' fish and other local sea dwellers without having to don a Scuba tank. The staff I have noticed are very good with the children whether 5 or 20. good place to see
