SEA Discovery Center

Very tiny place, but the littles loved it. They can touch a variety of gentle ocean dwellers. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and definitely stoked about ocean science. Plus, this is downtown Poulsbo, which is always a fun place to stroll.

This is a very tiny spot with not a lot to offer. I would say the suggested donation of $2 is about accurate in terms of value provided. Little kids will definitely love the little touch pool. Staff are great!

The center is small so I was a little disappointed at first, but the staff made this such a GREAT experience. I highly recommend it!! Michelle was so wonderful with our three year old, and kept her completely engaged in the experience. We learned about so many things that grow in our oceans. The touch tank was incredible urchins, sea cucumbers, a cute little crab, anemones, starfish. Touch the urchins! You wont regret it.

It is a shame how this place changed since WWU was given it. Very few animals for the children to touch. Most of the displays are empty of fish, etc Only one or two pictures for children to color. And the short movies are really for adults. Children loved climbing on the octopus and adults loved taking and sharing their photos.... But no more. There is now a ticket office that someone sits at when the place is open. Donation is $2 per person. I've always given a hefty donation ....that the children fought over to put in the divers headgear. There are very few free parking spaces, if any, available. I have taken many children here over the years... But no more as even the child complained to me that its not fun.
