The salt water tide pool touch tank introduces visitors – in a very hands-on way – to some of the animals that call the ocean home. It features marine invertebrates such as Chocolate Chip Sea Stars, Pencil Sea Urchins, Scarlet Hermit Crabs and various sea snails. Visitors can explore the tide pool during museum hours and will also have the chance to handle animals at set times during the week. The Sciencenter welcomes visitors to touch the animals on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (2 p.m. to 4 p.m.), and Saturday and Sunday afternoons (noon to 4 p.m.)
