Seacoast Science Center

Yesterday our family had the privilege to visit the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, New Hampshire. It was located right on the ocean with a beautiful view of the Isle of Shoals.

The children enjoyed the exhibits were they could touch a small shark (not sure the name),

sea cucumber, horseshoe crab, star fish, sea anemone,  and sea urchin.

We also learned a lot about sharks and dolphins, such as how they catch fish and krill, and how the make "clicking" noises to find fish.

One of my favorites was seeing a Blue Lobster, which is very rare 1 in 2-5 million are blue!

After we were done in the museum we went outside to enjoy the rocky beach.

It was a cloudy day but the sea breeze was so wonderful!

The ocean is my favorite place to be!!

I know this is a little is a blurry, but it was too cute not to post





They had a treasure hunt to find different animals in the center,
 and if you got each one than you got a sticker, which the children thought was great.
