Small but cool little marine environmental exhibit. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Doing important work. Take care of your beaches, no matter you live or visit!

Visit the stranding center on our yearly visit to Brigantine. Its such a wonderful organization that relies on our donations to do their rescuing of stranded, injured marine mammals. Stop in and see what they do. Its a great feeling to donate and purchase products to assist in their endeavors.

Good visit, glad we went, interesting and informative 👍. Will visit again.

They do such great work. Come see for yourself and please donate!

Wonderful tour. Very knowledgeable.

Great people doing great works!!

One of the only animal rescues i donate to. The marine life that they help and the gold star level of help is what I like my donations to go to.

Great display of items. Quite small, so great for small children

Found a large, dead leatherback turtle on the beach at Manasquan.

I called them after hours at night because I saw a Harbour seal who didnt look good to me. I sent his pic to the center and they said he looks OK. I was relieved to know the little guy was ok.

They do great work for the animals. A pleasure to donate to such a worthy cause each year!

Truly a wonderful place

Wonderful! Thank you!

Loved the intern who gave us the tour of the museum with a lot of interesting facts. You can buy t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, bag, etc. to support the center which does such good work for all the mammals who need rescuing.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center is absolutely awesome! They are doing absolutely incredible work.

They had three injured seals they were caring for. They were very thorough explaining the injuries, how they care for them, and how they cannot be released back into the ocean until theyve gained at least 50 lbs. Very informative but best to visit during spring and summer months when the weather is nice.

What a great place and stuff. The care and the effort they provide for the wild life is remarkable. We need more people and places like this

I took my three oldest granddaughters here several years ago. They loved it!! So taking my 8 year old granddaughter Monday . Her goal is to be a marine biologist so she’s super excited

FUN

Good work being done here.

Very knowledgeable and friendly people! Great place to learn about saving East coast sea life. Good shop with good prices and all proceeds go towards helping the stranded and injured animals.

Great group of people doing amazing work!!! Check them out, make a donation and help support all the amazing work they do!!!

Very informative and educational for all ages

This place does a really nice job of rehabilitation of injured animals. They shared some pictures of their most recent success. Three seals were recently released. They will were all juveniles bit by young sharks. They bite them but they cant eat the whole seal. They get away with injuries

Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by a female staff member (who happened to be part founder/owner of the center) & welcomed us inside the museum area where we watched a video about the operation of the Stranding Center. This group receives no funding from the State of NJ nor any monies from the Municipalities who rely on & contact the Ctr to retrieve mammals stranded on their Beaches or shorelines (1800 miles of it). They depend strictly on donations from visitors or those who are lovers of the mammals of our waters. Great work is done here by the founders/volunteers who rescue these creatures in their time of need from feeding & caring for them during their rehabilitation phases...an ICU & Pool House (similar to Physical Therapy) until their time of release back into the water. Unfortunately those two areas are off limits to the public however you do get to see them on the video. This is a “must-see” stop on your next trip to NJ. You can donate to their cause or Adopt a Seal to help out. Truly a remarkable facility.

Full Disclosure!!! This is a one room place. You can learn about mammals but it all takes place in a room. You can see the animals that are being taken care of from a tv in the room. Then you can go outside and look at the daily catch in the observation tank. This can all be done in less that 15 minutes. So dont go all the way here to just do this. Now if you plan on going to the beach or do some shopping then definitely stop in. The shop is really nice and they have nice souvenirs.

These folks provide an important service caring for stranded wildlife. Great folks

Wonderful people doing Gods work. They really care about the animals. Please support them

Its small but the staff are very informative caring and know each seal by name their condirion and their release date..

Really good! You would learn about the fish and other too! I also saw a war 11 coat that was wear by a Dr. and also my Dads still here with me, my dum sister in law wash a jacket and fell apart and they three it a way, but I have the other coat here!

Awesome place for a quick visit. Got to learn about some cool animals in the little observation tank. But hands down the best walkthrough. The interns that were working were great with the kids and they learned so much.

Small museum, sometimes have recovering seals and sea turtles.

One of my favorite places to visit.

Doing some amazing work. Small visitors center, but worth a visit.

Interesting to see how they help so many animals. Had many things to see and learn about.

A tour guide always available. Great history and pictures!

Non profit organization was worth the trip!

Amazing what they do there. Tiny but such an impact on the sea!

Interesting presentations and information about aquatic life.

It was a great learning experience.

Pretty cool place ..free ..not much to do but informative

Awesome work done for these animals in need

Saving injured and sick Marine Mammals..for generations.
