The Oceanarium is the best place on the island to discover what's in the surrounding ocean waters. It's fun for kids and adults. There are more than 20 tanks holding sea cucumbers, snails, horseshoe crabs, scallops, star fish, sea urchins and much more. Guides answer questions and tell interesting facts about the ocean life. The best part is the large tank where you can actually reach in and pick up the ocean life. Beware - (not of the creatures) - of the water! It's freezing!!!!
