We discovered this place by accident on our walk down the boulevard one day While on vacation last week. Ellen was great. She followed Covid guidelines so we felt safe while in the building. She was great with all the kids and let them touch so many different ocean animals. She had a great variety of sea creatures like Blue lobsters, horseshoe crabs, starfish etc that the kids got to handle. We learned all about whales before we went on our whale watch trip scheduled for a few days later! She was so willing to answer all our questions. Would highly recommend this!!!

As locals, we love to see shows at the casino. It is convenient to park, there is not a bad seat in the house, and drinks are reasonably priced. We try to see two or three shows a year as they will typically have repeat shows that we like. General admission option is fun to for a good dance show. Love it.

Overall enjoyed my time there, good mini golf course for your family. Of course my kids did better than me there because of my back, LOL. The only thing that bothered me was towards the end when my husband hit me in the nose with his golf club and it broke (I’m okay now). Like I said we had fun there, would go again maybe without my husband though! LOL. Lots of love from Linda!

Great beach a lot quieter than Hampton Beach there are restrooms located at the end of the world, a lot of people walk along the wall round-trip is 3 miles. The beach is fantastic but if it’s high tide you cannot sit on the beach unless you’re sitting on top of rocks
