In the heart of Stonington harbor, Maine's most active lobstering port, fisheries come alive at our Discovery Wharf. We offer a get-your-hands-wet opportunity to engage and learn about local fisheries and the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. You can explore our touch tank with live creatures, our interactive touch wall, where you can navigate a map of Eastern Maine. Also, enjoy our NEW virtual reality exhibit, where you can virtually step onto a working lobster boat, climb into a lobster trap, and much more. Discovery Wharf is CLOSED from mid-October to the end of May. See you in 2020!

This place is easy to miss but once you get to Stonington you must visit it. There was a great VR experience and also live lobsters you’l can pick up and the museum staff person was very knowledgeable— a lobsterman whose son, grandson, and granddaughters helped out on his boat.

everyone can see lots of animals at the zoo and everyone can have fun at the zoos and they can take pictures of animals if they want to and it would be amazing to have the pictures to remember the days that people went to the zoos and have an amazing time there

Booked the VIP tour and was absolutely blown away. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about the animals. This is NOT a zoo. If you expect it to be one you will be disappointed. The animals are in great condition and their enclosures are meticulously well maintained. Several bucket list items were checked off on this visit. Will absolutely go back.
