The center is operated by Oregon State University and has a series of exhibits about marine life and science. Many of the exhibits are interactive including a tide pool where kids (and adults) can touch sea stars, anemones, urchins, a skate and more.

Admission is free, although a donation is very welcome. It is a nice alternative to the nearby Newport Aquarium if you have only an hour or less to spend due to schedule or wiggly little ones.
