The Estuary Explorium provides visitors a unique opportunity to learn about our local estuaries.
The Estuary Explorium houses approximately 950 square-feet of engaging exhibits that are designed to increase public awareness of the value and transitional nature of the estuarine environment. The Explorium was designed to encourage self-guided exploration of estuaries through the use of interactive exhibits that you can feel, move, and hear.
The Estuary Explorium was made possible through a grant received by the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and support from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute.
