The Sea Life Museum is the only part of our facility that is open to the public. Admission is free, and we always appreciate donations of $2 per visitor.
The Museum was established to display marine mammal artifacts for the purpose of public education. Featured are several life-sized replicas of marine mammals, sea turtles, and fish, all found in New Jersey waters or stranded on beaches. In addition, educational displays explain the plight of marine animals that ingest marine debris and plastics. Displays of marine mammal artifacts features a sperm whale's jawbone, dolphin spinal column, skulls, and vertebrae and rib bones of small and large whales. Outside of the Museum is our "Bone Garden" exhibit, and our BRAND-NEW educational display that will give young visitors a hands-on experience while learning about the ocean and its many treasures.
When we are caring for seals in our hospital, patients may be viewed via our remote camera system on a screen inside the Museum.
The gift area is one of our sources of funding to maintain our operations. Our ever popular "Cupid the Seal" t-shirts, unique gifts, books, other apparel, and more can be found in our gift shop, both in the museum and online!
Take your time and explore our one of a kind Sea Life Museum! Our Educators are available to talk to you about MMSC's mission of Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release, and answer any questions you may have during your visit.
Sponsored by our friends at Ocean Casino Resort Atlantic City, this new outdoor exhibit helps beachcombers of all ages identify the many treasures that may be found at the Jersey Shore, and encourages everyone to keep our beaches clean.

This 1930's era military Dodecagon (12-sided) building was initially built during war-time to disguise sonar equipment in a Coast Guard base on the Island of Brigantine. The building survived many storms, but fell into despair over the years and was moved in the 1970's by the city to where it resides now. When the MMSC took over the property, we enlisted the help of Telephone Pioneers of America to reconstruct it into an environmental education facility.
