CLOSES AT 4:00 during the off season, GOOGLE says Open till 5:00 unfortunately we arrived at 4:00 as the clerk was locking the door HOWEVER she was super nice and let us come in for a quick 5 minutes, we looked around, very nice small place, bought some merchandise and left. WISH SO MUCH we couldve stayed longer, very nice little place.
I feel that everyone should visit this place. Why? I dont know. Theres really nothing there. Poor clerk was sound asleep when we were outside, but sparked up into an impassioned speech about puffins instantly as we entered. You can get puffin mugs, shot glasses, and assorted other puffin accoutrements here. After that you can explore the hallway that leads to a small conference room. There you will find a tiny cave placed on the floor for the kids. Whew! After that exhausting adventure, youll have seen everything! Still, all jokes aside, preserving the habitats for these amazing creatures is a noble cause, and they clearly love what they do, so get thee in there and donate!
I love Puffins and what they are doing to protect them. Nice people there also.
What a wonderful place to visit, great items to look over and informative personnel
Fantastic place and a highly recommended stop when in Rockland, ME! Its a very small exhibit but packed with tons of information and hands on exhibits that teach you about puffins and the attempts to re-establish them in Maine. The woman who was staffing the exhibit gave an excellent tour with tons of information about puffins for us and our two boys. Live webcam feeds in two burrows allowed us to spy on two puffin chicks while we were there. Exhibit is free but there is a $5 per person suggested donation. Great for adults and kids and well worth the time and donation!
This place is very gigantic if you look at it through binoculars the wrong way.
