Opening hours are limited to Saturdays from 10AM-2PM during the summer months. There is limited parking available across the street which proved not to be a problem on the day of our visit.

Though people in the past have seen herring in the adjoining stream, we had no such luck. Another visit during the summer months is now being contemplated.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) buildings (and U. of Chicago Marine Biological Laboratory) buildings are sprinkled throughout the town of Falmouth. WHOI buildings open to the public include (1) the visitor center and store, (2) a discovery center (museum) and (3) an aquarium. This review is for the visitors center and gift shop that is located on the main street as well as the discovery center that is located on a side street. My husband and I first stopped at the Visitor Center and Store on the drag street of what I assume is downtown Falmouth. The store sells ocean and ship themed t-shirts, hoodies and insulated cups and other "science-y" souvenirs. The store was very organized and everything was neatly displayed. We didn't buy anything but we had a lovely conversation with the very helpful employee who gave us a map of the area and made recommendations for lunch spots as well as how to find the WHOI Discovery Center and WHOI aquarium. Next we visited the Discovery Center which is appropriately located in a beautiful historic school. We found the introduction video about what WHOI does very helpful and we enjoyed the exhibits in the brightly lit space. I was surprised to learn that the 60-year-old Alvin mini-sub that is famous for taking explorers to the Titanic is still in service. I enjoyed being able to scan a QR code with my phone to see the real time position of WHOI's research vessels. The Discovery Center is donation based and like any good museum, there is a gift shop at the end. As far as parking, street parking is the name of the game in this part of Falmouth. We found a spot at a parking meter and walked to the Visitor Center, Discovery Center, aquarium and lunch.

Everything has an oceanic theme. There are books about New England's haunted lighthouses, the exploration of the Titanic, Cape Cod cookbooks, fun for the whole family.

Currently, their exhibits cover navigation instruments over time (like a sextant that was used on WHOI's Atlantis), as well as the relationship between people&shellfish. The latter celebrates the Cape's abundance of scallops, oysters&clams. You'll be as happy as a clam. They have a nice little souvenir shop with postcards and paintings. There is a beautiful diorama depicting Woods Hole in the 1890s. The back room smells musty&mildewy. It has a random collection of old bottles found on Woods Hole's shores (like a laxative that's been continuously made since the 1860s), ships in bottles, and a taxidermy loon. A fascinating little spot.
