We were pleased that during our off-season trip to the Cape the Woods Hole aquarium was open. There is only metered street parking. Meters take quarters (25 cents for 15 minutes and I think there was also a credit card option. There are several tanks on the main level and upstairs you can see the tanks from above. There is also a small touch tank. There were no seals in residence while we were there. It took us about an hour to walk thru all the exhibits.

We loved this so much, we went back the next day to hike it again! The views are lovely and when you look out at the end, it is spectacular.
