It's small, but very cute. Takes about 15 minutes to see everything, longer if you stop to read the informative signs next to each aquarium. There is a small merch area, a tank where you can touch a horseshoe crab, and luckily a very clean bathroom. Not a destination on its own, but a cool little side quest in the state park.

It's not a very big Nature Center but you can pet a horseshoe crab and they do have some lovely gift shop items that my entire family made use of, much to my wallets Chagrin 😅
A particularly useful diversion on days when it's incredibly hot
