Learned a lot about Oysters, Muscles, Clams and Lobster. Excellent information and displays throughout the little two story museum.
Worth a stop! Very interesting information and good displays. Looses a star because the information really needs updating, but still worth going.
Cash only admission! Very small place, but very informative and friendly staff ready to educate further or answer any questions. Clean bathroom, and some great local recommendations from the ladies working there. Learned a ton about different shells and pesky and predators to shellfish!
The museum is small but if you have the patience to walk through and read the information you will definitely learn something. This museum is worth the visit and will help enrich your experience beachcombing in P.E.I. The lady at the desk was very pleasant and knowledgeable. All in all a good experience.
You will learn basically everything you can about the shellfish varieties on and around the island. That being said it was not much more than a little disappointing in the live subjects we're not available anymore but, the pictures we're interesting. If your in the area. A nice place to stop. Price is definitely reasonable. But if it's out if your way. Not sure I would have gone the distance.
Staff absolutely knowledgeable and friendly.
