Portsmouth Touch Tank Opening Soon!

We're getting ready to open the touch tank in Portsmouth  for the summer! We've been stocking the tank with a variety of exciting critters (see photos on our Facebook page here) and have been working with the staff at the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company to bring the critters aboard their educational field trips with local school groups.

We are still finalizing our opening time and hours for the season, but right now, it looks like we'll be open on the weekend of June 18, and are planning our Grand Opening the weekend of June 25. After that, we'll be open Wednesday through Sunday until Labor Day weekend. Hours and daily activities will be posted here soon.  We also encourage you to "Like" the touch tank page or Blue Ocean Society page on Facebook for the latest updates.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!
