Tour the MBL

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

The Marine Biological Laboratory 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 woodshole.com or the WHOOSH trolley website.
