We visited the Tybee Island Marine Science center in August and my 6 year old really enjoyed it. I agree with the other posters that it not be that exciting for older kids but we had a great time. It seems everyone has a gift shop and my daughter gravitates towards them but we did not mind too much as... more

Have to agree with previous post about cashier, very unfriendly, tried to ask about sea turtles and she acted annoyed. My son was a litte old (12) to be impressed - Probaly 10 tanks of fish. We have been to awesome places like the Va Beach, Ripleys in Myrtle Beach and Boston Aqui so my son was not impressed but... more

We paid 15 dollars for 3 adults and one child. You enter in the gift shop, which isn't a good idea for anyone with children. We paid the cashier, who seemed more interested in playing on the internet than ringing us up. Just so everyone knows...this is a 4 room spot. 4 very small rooms. In the first "hallway" there... more

It is quite frankly a waste of time and money . while the touch tank is interesting it's not much and the aquarium room was little with not much more than you could see at a petsmart. Don't bother with this dark and deary place, we enjoyed walking out on... more

My best friend and I were eager to enjoy the Marine Science Center after learning there was a "touch tank" where we could pick up critters and enjoy a hands on experience. The price was right at $4 a person and we expected the best. However, AFTER we paid we were notified that a field trip from an elementary school... more
