Gig Harbor's Marine Life Center is Open

By Gig Harbor & Mason County Macaroni KID February 26, 2024

It's happening! The Harbor WildWatch Marine Life Center is officially opening its freshly painted blue door on Wednesday, Feb 28th. Visitors can learn all about bull kelp in an immersive kelp forest exhibit, enjoy the aquariums and touch tanks, meet the Pacific red octopus named Pancake in his new 300 gallon aquarium, and explore the marine animal skull display - there's even a fun scavenger hunt! We are SO thrilled to be back after a lot of hard work getting this space ready for its new chapter as a Marine Life Center. Come by and embrace the Harbor WildWatch motto of, Learn. Have Fun. Our hours will be Wed-Sunday 11-6pm*. Admission is free for all ages. Donations are welcome.https://harborwildwatch.org/


*Weekend hours are subject to volunteer availability - if you're interested in helping us keep our doors open, check out the information below about volunteering as a Marine Life Center Docent.
