Reviews about Goat Island Marine Discovery Centre

  A great mini museum. A must visit to enhance your visit to Leigh. A great complement to your glass-bottomed trip. The museum have a sound corridor to experience underwater life, and also an opportunity to be up and close to the marine animals; some of which you can touch.

  What a great day out! Catch low tide, a wander along the rock and then (well either side of it really) drop into the Discovery Centre ($10). It has informative story boards, curious photos, specimen jars, a "sound corridor" so you can hear what goes on at the marine world and best of all a touch pool, filled with all sorts of creatures. Two PhD students unobtrusively checked in with us every now and then to greatly enhanced our experience. Five stars.

  What a fantastic experience.
  Inexpensive and a hands on experience for the kids where you can touch starfish and play with the sea creatures.
  Staff were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in the experience.
  
  Parking onsite despite the signs saying there is no parking.
  $20 for a family pass.
