Near the head of the Bay of Fundy, the town and the aquarium are right on the water's edge along Brandy Cove in the Passamaquoddy Bay. The focus of the aquarium is on the sea life of the Bay of Fundy. They have a great many displays of different sea creatures in various pools, tanks and habitats. The aquarium is also home to a pair of harbour seals named Loki and Snorkel.

Videos of various aspects of the Bay of Fundy are played through the day and many children's activities take place, including a "touch pool", feeding of the seals, birthday parties and sleepovers, day camps and beach walks. Throughout the aquarium one will find interpreters able to answer any questions between their scheduled interpretive speeches.

Other things to enjoy include the children's play area, feature films, interactive displays, the walking path to the beach, and so much more!

There's always something exciting happening at Huntsman, with our largest attractions being the twice daily feedings of our seahorses, seals, and salmon. We have a host of daily activities that are fun, educational, and perfect for all ages.
