  • $44 for admission for four and adoption of any habitat (up to an $89 value)

For the second option, patrons can pick their favorite sea creatures and make a donation of up to $50 to help finance the vital maintenance of the animals' habitat. Click here for a list of available habitats. Valid for one year, adoption includes the following benefits:

  • Laminated certificate
  • Packet with information on your selected habitat
  • Regular email updates on the habitat
  • A toy and keepsake relevant to your habitat
  • Half off the cost of feeding the creatures in your chosen habitat, provided you meet the height requirement and do so during the designated times

Ocean Explorium

It would take months of sea travel, extensive scuba certifications, and fluency in several crustacean dialects to find—let alone interact with—all the creatures found in Ocean Explorium's interactive exhibits. The museum emphasizes environmental stewardship and scientific literacy through several educational habitats such as petting tanks of local aquatic wildlife—including New Bedford's world-famous scallops and schools of rays and sharks. The Living Laboratory exhibit brings visitors face to face with juvenile sea creatures, such as larval lobsters, shark eggs, and baby seahorses still too small for their seaweed saddles.

Beyond the up-close encounters with denizens of the deep, Ocean Explorium also enlightens patrons with a variety of non-living displays. The Explorer's Zone presents scientific experiments that reveal the workings of the natural world through hands-on exhibits themed around different weekly topics. Advanced computers construct a three-dimensional image of our home planet as it appears from outer space in the Science on a Sphere exhibit, displaying global weather patterns in real time or replaying natural phenomena from history, such as the time it rained men.
