Gloucester celebrates the
city's historic relationship with the sea.
Here you can watch a boat builder shape a traditional wooden dory,
handle sea stars and sea urchins in our touch tanks, sound a vintage
foghorn, learn about life aboard a schooner 100 years ago, and watch
underwater footage of the fabulous creatures that inhabit the
Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary just three miles offshore..
Located at the heart of the city's working waterfront, we offer the
most extensive public access to Gloucester's industrial harbor. From
the Main Pier, enjoy panoramic views of Ten Pound Island, Rocky Neck,
and the State Fish Pier, as well as an ever changing parade of
draggers, trawlers, tugboats and pleasure boats departing from and
returning to the inner harbor.
We are open
seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm through October. Admission is
$6/adults.$5/seniors $3/children, with a maximum charge of $12 per
family.
