For the Kids
The Bayshore Center at Bivalve is a good place to unplug and experience the natural beauty of the region. We have a pirate boat for children to play on, a scavenger hunt in our museum, and miles of nature trails to explore. Together you and your children can shell bag, a fun family activity that will also help to improve the Delaware Bay and the local economy. Or perhaps you and your children could simply sit quietly on our docks watching the boats pass by while counting the ospreys flying overhead.
The Bayshore Center also offers a variety of formal educational programs. Click below to learn more.
What to Expect
The Bayshore Center at Bivalve is unlike any other museum you will visit. Your experience will begin miles before you arrive. Observe the natural beauty of the area, take note of the homes and streets. Observe our neighbors – watermen, scientists, and oystermen, as they go about their work. These people and this community are all part of the experience of the Bayshore Center at Bivalve.
When you arrive in our parking lot, look around. Everything you see is an exhibit. We encourage you to wonder, knock on doors and ask those who pass by questions. For more information on our exhibits click here.
