Visit Us at Both Our Locations!

We hope you will visit us at both of our locations, Fort Worden State Park and 1001 Water Street in downtown Port Townsend.

We have been careful to plan our public exhibit schedule based on the health and well-being of our volunteers, staff, and AmeriCorps. We will continue to reevaluate our capacity for additional public hours. In the meantime, our staff and AmeriCorps are continuing to lead education programs and public programs such as the Future of Oceans lecture series, maintain our Citizen Science Projects, participate in partner projects, and of course care for the aquarium life and systems.

We will post any updates to our schedule on this website and on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
