点评:One of the most interesting things at the Seacoast Science Center was the 32-foot skeleton of a juvenile humpback whale named Tofu that met her end in the Gulf of Maine. The skeleton hangs above some interactive exhibits that tell all about whales.
The youngsters really enjoy handling the sea stars, scallops, and sea urchins in the interactive touch tanks.
The scientists of the center go beyond studying just the creatures that live in the sea. They are also involved with researching common terns out on the Isles of Shoals where there is a very large colony of them. I learned that their average life span is 9 – 10 years, but other species can live as long as 30 years and possible longer.
Although most of the exhibits are aimed at elementary school-age children, older children and adults can enjoy them.
The staff here is great.
This was a re-visit for me. I brought my cousin Jane, a second grade teacher, here 10+ years ago when she came for a summer visit. We both enjoyed it very much. And, the center has developed quite a bit since then.
On the November day of this visit, it was quite busy.
Additionally, there’s more to explore outside on the center grounds and at the water’s edge and then on to other areas of Odiorne Point State Park.
I rate the Seacoast Science Center at 4.50 and can recommend a visit, especially for families with elementary school-age children.
The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews and some health issues.

翻译:海岸科学中心最有趣的东西之一是 32 英尺长的幼年座头鲸骨架,这头名为 Tofu 的鲸鱼在缅因湾遇难。骨架悬挂在一些互动展品上方,这些展品讲述了鲸鱼的所有知识。
孩子们非常喜欢在互动触摸池中触摸海星、扇贝和海胆。
该中心的科学家们不只是研究生活在海洋中的生物。他们还参与研究浅滩群岛上的普通燕鸥,那里有大量的燕鸥群。我了解到它们的平均寿命为 9-10 年,但其他物种的寿命可达 30 年甚至更长。
虽然大多数展品都是针对小学年龄的儿童,但年龄较大的儿童和成人也可以欣赏它们。
这里的工作人员很棒。
这是我再次来访。 10 多年前,我带我的表妹简来这里,她是一名二年级老师,当时她来这里过暑假。我们俩都非常喜欢这里。而且,自那时以来,中心已经发展了很多。
这次参观是在 11 月,非常繁忙。
此外,中心场地和水边还有更多值得探索的地方,然后可以前往 Odiorne Point 州立公园的其他区域。
我对海岸科学中心的评分为 4.50,推荐参观,尤其是对于有小学年龄儿童的家庭。
