Seacoast Science Center

Seacoast Science Center is a marine science and education center within Odiorne Point State Park on the New Hampshire coast. Its exhibits focus primarily on the Gulf of Maine and the marine environments found along the region's shoreline, combining natural history with interactive interpretation. The center also connects its indoor exhibits to the surrounding coast, giving visitors a chance to consider local ecosystems in the landscape where they occur.

Exhibits explore subjects including the changing Gulf of Maine, seabirds, marine mammals, tropical reefs, and New Hampshire beaches. The Edge of the Sea provides hands-on saltwater tanks where visitors can examine intertidal animals and seaweeds, including sea stars and urchins, while a marine mammal exhibit uses a humpback whale skeleton and interactive stations to explore whale ecology and conservation. The center also operates a marine mammal rescue program and develops conservation and community science initiatives. It suits travelers interested in coastal ecology and marine science who prefer interactive learning and regional wildlife interpretation over a conventional aquarium collection.
