Blue Ocean Discovery Center Opening in Hampton Beach!

Blue Ocean Discovery Center entrance

We're excited to announce that after more than 3 years of planning, we're opening a touch tank in Hampton Beach! Our Blue Ocean Discovery Center is located in the North Pavilion in the Sea Shell Complex, 170 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach (the former location of the Made in New Hampshire Gift Shop).

Starting tomorrow (Saturday, June 29) we'll be open from 10 AM-7 PM daily for the rest of the summer! Check out our touch tank, mark your hometown on our world map, and bring your kids for fun crafts and other activities!

Join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 AM for story time with a take home craft and participate in our Tideline Nature Walk and Cleanup, which will be held every day at 5 PM (meet at the Center)!

Thank you to all who helped us prepare the space, including Cathy, Ann, Becca, Abby and Nathan (from Visions Kitchens)! We hope to see you soon!
