Tips from locals
Museum, aquarium, schooner adventures and tours, public access to outstanding views of Gloucester Harbour
Gives a history of Gloucester's fishing industry. You can see it all in under an hour.
Boat building, free harbor walk, outdoor Seapocket Aquarium (with touch tanks) and the new Maritime Science Education Center with museum and store. Great for kids!
This is a great little museum and a great place to take the kids. They have awesome touch tanks where you get to see what lives under the sea. They also have a great gift shop with Gloucester and sea things. They also have so many great programs for kids to drop into while in Gloucester and they do sail trips on 2 different amazing old schooners
