Port Townsend Marine Science Center

Port Townsend Marine Science Center Review

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center, along the seafront at Fort Worden State Park, is divided into two sections. The actual Science Center, set at the end of a long pier and within a former World War II military storage facility, houses numerous aquarium displays, as well as touch tanks of starfish, crabs, and anemones. The separate, on-shore Natural History Exhibit Center is filled with displays following the region's geography and marine ecology. Beach walks, nature camps, cruises, and day camps run throughout the summer, and there's a Low Tide Festival each July.
