you will be surprised to find how beautiful the ocean city from its history, majority of the founders with the females, the brave one of the history. There is a huge parking next to the building perhaps one of the biggest parking lot that can hold more than 2000 cars. You must go with friends and families. The ticket is five dollar and you don’t need a advanced booking.

Fun and educational visit for all ages at the museum,! The staff was welcoming and displays were fun for all ages. A staff educator presented an instructional class and included all the children. Adorable. Now I know why sharks confuse a surfboarder for food! Thank you OCL staff!

Small and unique. Cutest little kids room, my toddlers and 8yr old enjoyed it although if my 8yr old was alone maybe not as much.. geared toward 6 and under. If you're a looker more so than a reader at museums, this will take you all of 20 minutes. Not stroller friendly, steep climb up stairs too.
