Membership

Not only is membership a great monetary deal, it helps support new exhibits, staffing, and educational programs at our facility. As a non-profit facility, our admissions and gift shop sales are our main source of operational funds. Those funds, combined with grants acquired through the US Fish & Wildlife Service, allow the Maine State Aquarium to continue serving as an important resource for residents and visitors in our great state.

*Please note that there have been changes to our membership fees and information in 2008.
