MBL Tours have ended for the season - see you in 2025!

СƵ offers free, guided tours during the summer season. Reservations required.

Tours meet at the Pierce Exhibit Center (100 Water St., Woods Hole, MA.) and include a visit to the Marine Resources Center for a look at the marine animals used in MBL research, a trip to the MBLWHOI Library, and a walking tour of the campus. For safety reasons, children under the age of five are not permitted in the Marine Resources Center. 

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high volume of visitors during the summer months, we cannot accommodate any special groups beyond our regularly scheduled tours (10:30 a.m. & 1:00 p.m.).

Parking: Public parking is not available on the MBL campus. For more information about metered street parking and other transportation options, visit  or the website.
