VISIT

Kayaking

Fun is a major part of every visit to the Wetlands Institute, as everything here combines both education and entertainment!

Every visit begins with Marion’s gardens, award winning gardens which surround the parking lot and line the walkway to the main building.  You will pass hundreds of native plants, each chosen to attract birds and butterflies and to resemble an historic English cottage garden.  Most of the plants are labeled for your information.

We are open all Winter for self-guided tours of all the Institute's facilities. In the Summer, we offer complete guided tours, as well as back bay boat rides, kayaking, live animal shows, family entertainment and guided beach & dune walks. Visit our events section for more information on schedules.
