Happened upon this place while exploring the area. Crashing waves on the windy day we were there. Great photography location of the Portsmouth Harbor and Kittery Point, Me. across the river. Science Museum with hand on exhibits and bathroom facilities during the summer season Plenty of ample parking with level paved walkways for easy accessibility. Since we were off season there was no fee to park.

I agree with prior reviews that the place is small but the tanks and skeletons of whales are very cool. However, the best part was the demonstration at the tide pools. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the pools and on the beach. Great playground and fun to walk on the trails.
