Ocean Explorium
The Sea: we look to it for inspiration, sustenance and adventure. Our community is defined by the sea. Throughout our history we have taken both pleasure and profit from the waters that meet our shores and from the oceans beyond.

But how much do we know about the sea and the forces that act upon it? How can we be wiser and more effective stewards of this wonderful resource? How can we meet the challenges and opportunities that face our friends and neighbors who make their living from the sea? How can we ensure that our children will both love the sea and embrace its critical role in their lives?

See the Sphere on Summerfest Saturday!

The Ocean Explorium will open its doors every Saturday from 10-4pm (last tour begins at 3pm) and Thursday evenings for a Speaker Series, while continuing construction.

 

The Ocean Explorium currently features the Science on a Sphere®. This magnificent blue marble floats in space, clearly demonstrating environmental issues that effect planet Earth, in three-dimensions.  Developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Sphere is a dramatic way of understanding our planet.    


The Ocean Explorium offers FREE ADMISSION while under construction and hopes citizens of the greater New Bedford and Southcoast, as well as seasonal visitors, will stop in!
