Huntsman Marine Science Centre
Presented by Periwinkle Productions, Paddlefest, and Huntsman Marine
Huntsman Marine Science Centre is a marine research and public education facility located in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. The centre offers a range of field-based and facility-based experiences that connect visitors directly with the Bay of Fundy’s unique marine environment. Programs include a 3.5-hour Citizen Scientist Marine Cruise aboard the research vessel Fundy Spray, guided intertidal exploration like the 3-hour Walk Between the Tides, family-focused Young Explorer Days for ages 5 to 11, and multiple aquarium admission options at the Fundy Discovery Aquarium.
The Fundy Discovery Aquarium provides seasonal exhibits, seal talks and feedings, and a large subtidal pool showcasing local marine life. Sensory Friendly Aquarium Admission sessions run every Wednesday in July and August, offering reduced capacity and a quieter environment for accessibility. Seasonal and special events include Huntsman Marine’s Haunted Halloween and a Fall 2025 Concert Series featuring visiting artists. All experiences emphasize hands-on learning, specimen observation, and direct interaction with trained educators. Visitors engage in sample collection, data observation, classroom-style lab reviews, and interpretive sessions that explain local ecology and tidal dynamics.
Huntsman Marine Science Centre combines operational research assets and public programming to make the Bay of Fundy’s marine science approachable for families, students, and adult learners. Programs are led by experienced educators and utilize onsite facilities and vessels to provide safe, informative, and memorable marine experiences.
