The Exploration Center is an interactive marine science learning center that offers educational programs and activities for school groups, families and children interested in learning more about Narragansett Bay. Bring the kids to Easton's Beach in Newport for some hands-on critter fun. We have 14 tanks and exhibits and some 150 species that call the Bay home. Our staff is eager to show you around.

Winter Hours

Our winter/spring season has ended. We will re-open seven days a week from 10:00 to 4:00 on Memorial Day weekend. So plan to bring the kids to Easton's Beach in Newport for some hands-on critter fun! With 14 tanks and exhibits plus some 150 species that call the Bay home, the Exploration Center and Aquarium is the perfect way to spend a winter afternoon. We're also open daily for school vacation (February 13-21 and April 17-25). General admission is $5 / FREE for Save The Bay members and children ages 3 and under.

Remember, we are open year-round for schools and groups (more than 12), and all of our education programs are linked to the Grade Span Expectations.  For group pricing and education programs, contact Rupa at 401-272-3540, x133 or rdatta@savebay.org.
