"I found Mt. Desert Oceanarium the best teaching aquarium I've ever seen, including the great public aquariums up and down the East and West coasts as well as the Pacific."
W.H.A. Noted Audubon Field Guide and National Geographic Author.

"…a sheer delight! We adults enjoyed the Oceanarium as much as the children. We found the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and eager to tell us everything we wanted to know."
