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.

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.

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
