Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea is located in Sidney, BC at the Sidney Pier. The Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea opened in 2009 dedicated exclusively to the biodiversity of the Salish Sea. It operates as a not-for-profit facility with a mission to engage and educate people about the Salish bioregion.
The centre is open daily 10am to 4:30 pm. Tuesday mornings they offer a preschool program that is free with entry. This program includes story time, crafts and some hands on activities. When we were visiting the museum the Tot Tuesday was about Seals and Sea Lions. There is also additional free programming on Saturday and Sundays that includes activities, games, stories and more.
This is a good place to spend a rainy morning. There are a number of aquariums with fish, octopus, and eel along with anemone and corals.
One of our favourite things was the touch tanks, where a staff member explains the various creatures within the tank and teaches the children how to handle them without causing injury.
Some other neat things to see are the fully intact orca skeleton. There is a great area with books and activities for children to enjoy some quiet time within the centre with great views of the ocean.
When we visited there were a number of staff members on hand to explain further about any of the sea life and answer any questions our children had.
