The Biomes Marine Biology Center (BMBC) is the most hands-on aquarium in New England and the only private marine education facility in the area.

Since opening in 1989, BMBC has been committed to offering interactive marine biology programs to their community featuring marine animals straight from their local waters, the Atlantic Ocean, and Narragansett Bay.

It takes guests roughly 2 hours to check out all the exhibits, which include species native to their waters and a few exotics who made their way to New England. On the weekends, visitors can check out feedings for some species, from tortoises to stingrays.
