Maine State Aquarium

The Father’s Day weekend when our family stopped by the lobster boat races were in full swing! The aquarium is smaller but at the time of our visit offered educational programs like a squid dissection which made this a must see on the list!

Small but cute. Had a lot of fun on the pier behind the aquarium pulling up different traps to see what’s inside. Not a lot to see inside, very small, but the kids still enjoyed it and the drive to it is nice and winding.

Love this place! Small as far as aquariums go. And was very crowded at the busy times. The touch tanks are AMAZING. We spent hours at them. The sharks were so much fun. I could have pet them for days. It was really cool, you could go fishing off the dock. They supplied everything. They had a craft section, and different presentations. Definitely can't wait to go back.

The tiniest aquarium I have ever been to. Also one of the most fun. The main feature is two different touch tanks, one with sharks, skates, and lobsters. The other with starfish, sea cucumbers, lobsters, crabs, scallops, and more. My girlfriend and I really loved both of them and spent a good amount of time at them. The attendants at both tanks were super friendly, knowledgable, and fun to talk to. Would go back. It was very reasonably priced.

Went to fish off their pier just to try it out. Place looked nice, planning on visit...great parking, kids on pier really enjoyed the fishing and netting thing.
