It might look small from the outside, but the exhibits inside are impressively well-organized and packed with information. There are plenty of display boards with artifacts, plus an aquarium room, a kids’ playroom, and a swimwear exhibit. The staff was incredibly friendly—one even offered my kids a paper worksheet with 3–4 questions for each room, encouraging them to read, explore, and discuss. We spent about 1.5 hours completing all the questions, and the kids were thrilled to receive a small bag of shark teeth as a special reward. Such a cool place! Parking was easy on a weekday. Highly recommend.
