Striving to protect and restore wetlands and other coastal ecosystems, The Wetlands Institute is a must-visit attraction during your vacation in Stone Harbor. For a very nominal entrance fee the whole family can enjoy a few hours of educational fun as you explore the elevated Marsh Walkway and the quarter-mile Salt Marsh Trail. You can prepare your children for their visit by watching a virtual tour of the facility before you visit. Besides the trails, you can also visit the Terrapin Station and the Aquarium which features several touch-tanks and hands-on interactive exhibits which teach all ages about the vital role wetlands play in preserving our eco-systems.
