We were excited to go to the Interpretive Center but was disappointed that it was closed during the week. Only opened on the weekends.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

We were finished walking around in just under an hour. It was a good place to spend time while waiting for other local things to open that we wanted to do. Lots of hands-on things for the kids to explore and lots of interesting information on shipwrecks. We noticed some arguing and tension between a couple of the volunteers there. It was a little uncomfortable, they could have held off their differences until we were away from ear shot, but they continued, so I felt pressed to leave sooner than later.
