There's a small charge of £1 for adults or £2.50 for a family but it's worth this charge as it's a lovely space. There's interesting information and interactive displays for children. The staff fed the creatures in the tank and talked us through what the creatures such as crabs, prawns and fish would do. It was fascinating to watch and to hear from the staff who obviously are passionate about what they do.

Called in and pleasantly surprised, caters for school groups also. Interactive activities about the bay and its history. Love the tide machine which replicates the tide times and how it happens. Central water tank with lots of sea life and all you need to know about them. Great little gift shop as well, bought a lovely tea light holder. Had some fab throws and blankets, great Christmas gifts at the minute.

Popped in here after going rock pooling on the beach. This is a great little place that gives some information about the area with interactive displays and interesting artefacts. Being free entry makes it even better!

This is a small National trust run mini-museum that adds interest to your visit to Robin Hood's Bay as it tells you more about the history and sea-life. It's very small so doesn't take long and well worth popping in if you're in the village.

When we told our children we were coming for another visit to RHB, they asked straight away if they could come back to the Coastguard Station as they remembered it from previous visits!
It's a great place to visit, is free and on a cold day, a very welcoming place to be! The kids especially love experimenting with the wave machine, while us adults spent ages looking in the seawater fishtank- with helpful staff pointing out various things of interest to us. Well worth visiting.
