Enjoy the Ostego Bay Marine Science Center on Fort Myers Beach
If you’re looking to have fun, and learn something too, the Ostego Bay Marine Science Center located on Fort Myers Beach…
…provides a marine science experience through interactive exhibits, aquariums, a hands-on tank, collections and displays.
There are many opportunities to see native sea life up close and personal –
During feeding time, many reclusive marine specimens come out of hiding for lunch. Touch a starfish, see a shark, learn how sea turtles hatch, and more! Feeding times vary, so it’s best to call ahead.
During the new Thursday morning workshop, “Treasures From the Sea,” visitors will discover the lifestyles of sea shells, sea urchins, sea stars, sea horses, sand dollars and much more. This two-hour program is hosted by a local conchologist and features hands-on tables, touch tank, cleaning shells and more.
Registration is required for this program.
From October to May The Marine Science Center will host the Shrimp Waterfront Guided Tour. Times are Wednesday from 9 a.m.-noon from October to May. Reservations are required.
