This was a great local museum that was fun not only for myself but my two kids as well (ages 2 and 9). The workers are incredibly knowledgable and so kind and willing to answer any questions and even showed/let my son face his fear and touch a stingray ! The discovery room was fabulous and both my kids loved it. We loved learning about boats and the history of Solomon’s as well as seeing fossils and actual live fish/crabs/jellies and otters ! With entry you also get a free tour of the lighthouse which was fabulous as well ! High recommend !

This place is awesome! We were visiting from out of town and brought our kids here for the afternoon and everyone absolutely loved it. There was something for everyone but the focus on kid friendly activities this place truly special. We loved the otters and the lighthouse as well.

This is a great place to go, no matter your age. With only indigenous animals, it's educational too. Plenty for kids but there is a historical side for adults as well. And otters, did I mention otters?!

This museum has something for everyone!! Our family spent a week in the Calvert Cliffs area and made this one of our outings. Our arrival at the museum coincided with a guided tour of the lighthouse so we toured that first. It was so amazing and interesting to learn of the different families that resided in the lighthouse and walking up the very narrow staircases, and strolling through the living quarters really brought home what a unique lifestyle that would’ve been. After the lighthouse tour, we visited the small boat shop where we were able to learn a lot about the efforts that go into building wooden boats. Afterward, we spent a long time watching the otters! So cute!!! The main museum is a wealth of information about various timelines of the area from fossils to industry. Every member of my family had their favorite feature of the museum. My favorite was the extensive fossilized, shark teeth exhibit! The gift shop was also a great way to end our tour where we were able to get souvenir gifts for friends back home. It was definitely worth more than just an afternoon!
