Visitors are welcome year-round to visit our resident harp seal facility from an outdoor visitors viewing platform.Since 1988 the Ocean Sciences Centre has organized and played a continuous role in public awareness in marine sciences through its Marine Public Education Program. Each summer we invite visitors of all ages to our outside touch tank and Seal Facility where student interpreters discuss research conducted at the OSC, marine mammal and sealing issues, and introduce the curious to a variety of native sea creatures.

There are no indoor tours of the Ocean Sciences Centre Facilities.
