Our Exhibits

Get up close and personal with the fascinating creatures that live just outside our doors. Learn about whales and other marine mammals of the Gulf of Maine and about the work we do to protect them. Discover the wonders of our Blue Planet and how you can help protect it.

Tide Pools

The tide pools of Odiorne are home to an array of fascinating plants and animals. Located just outside our doors, tide pools are scattered throughout the rocky shore when the tide is out. If you plan to go tide pooling, be sure to check the tide prediction for the day of your visit; tide pools are accessible 2-3 hours before and after low tide.
