A small, science-driven aquarium and touch-tank centre run by Memorial University researchers, offering real insight into the marine life of the fjord just outside your window.
What to expect
Inside, touch tanks let visitors handle sea stars, urchins, and other local marine species while researchers or students explain the fjord's unusual ecosystem, where deep, cold Atlantic water meets a landlocked-feeling bay. Exhibits cover Bonne Bay's unique oceanography, formed by its narrow, glacially-carved entrance. It's compact but genuinely informative, appealing to curious travelers rather than families with young children alone.
Good to know
Located in Norris Point, an easy walk from the Bon Tours dock — pair it with the catamaran or Zodiac tour on the same afternoon; check seasonal hours as they can be limited outside peak summer.
