Annual Open House

Bigelow Laboratory scientists explore environments all over the world, and they bring all they learn back to our state-of-the-art facility in East Boothbay, Maine.

On Friday, July 11th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., we invite you to visit our laboratory and hear first-hand from the researchers conducting our bold ocean science. We are also excited to invite you to see our new 25,000 sq. ft laboratory wing focused on education and innovation.

Our staff will lead a wide range of scientific demonstrations and activities for visitors of all ages. Meet some of the ocean’s most important organisms, participate in hands on science activities, and learn how scientists are working to improve the future of our planet and all of us who call it home.

This event is free and open to the public. More details on the events, activities, and schedule will be posted here as we get closer to the event.
