Some of the nicest people in Gig Harbor AND they are there to protect the oceans. It's a twofer! Lovely free activity right on the main road alongside the docks/wharf. It's not large yet it packs a punch. Educational and I'm certain very absorbing for the little ones - and maybe the grown ups too. This organization also holds FREE (donations accepted) beach educational tours and nighttime underwater diver-with-camera "shows" (you watch a screen and they explain all the creatures that the diver is encountering). Highly recommend giving this "big thing in a small package" your support.
P.S. If you are a person that believes that it's okay to talk loudly on your phone while the rest of us *attempt* to enjoy the exhibits - please take it outside. That is RUDE and does not count as spending time with your family. read more
