About Us

The Biomes Marine Biology Center is New England's only private marine education facility and the most hands-on aquarium in the region. We've been providing interactive marine biology programs for schools and families since 1989. With over 7 touch tanks, ranging from small shrimp to sharks, there is fun for all!

We specialize in teaching guests about the marine animals of Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Although perfect for all ages of children, Biomes also has lots to offer adult audiences. Walk through our doors to see some of the most rare animals found in our coastal waters!
