Ocean City Life-Saving Museum

Just stopped here on Monday. My son and I went in and I believe it was one of my favorite parts of the beach. Learned some stuff and had some laughs with my kid at the old fashioned swimsuits. The man working the front desk was nothing but helpful and kind. We talked a little bit and made sure to tell us about the other location a few blocks down and even gave me a free pass. We never got down to that one and I was bummed but either way. The $6 entry fee plus free to anyone 11 and under like my son was was an easy decision. I recommend this place greatly. I hope more people come and check it out if this is your kind of thing! Thank you!

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.

A beautifully kept station with great USLSS and cultural exhibits. The staff is passionate and informative. This station has a tragic tie to my home station, Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station and Museum, in that one of our Station Keepers, Little Bannister Midgett, lost a son in the line of duty at Ocean City.
