Stopped in on a rainy day with our little guys and the woman who was attending the touch tanks that day was just incredible. She was so great with the boys and they learned so much from her. Highly recommend checking this place out if you get the chance

I came here on a school trip for research, and also a way to bond with peers. It was a great experience, and we participated in many activities. We went hiking, boating, and looking for creatures on the beach.

we were there in september 2018, the view is okay but for the rest theres not much to see. Bamfield is more of a hiking/fishing place if you want tosee things.

Aside from an informative scheduled tour my personal experience, over the years, has been raised to being treated as one of their guests to use of the library and other lovely over genuine gestures.
Great for the family to learn so much from these interesting tours.
Truly a must to enjoy when you are in Bamfiled

Once each year in July since 2007 there is a music festival in the small community of Bamfield which brings together a community of musicians and others that focuses on classical music and jazz. This culminates in a week long series of magnificent concerts in a magical auditorium which is part of the Marine Sciences Centre here that the four of us found enchanting and truly first class. The programme ranged from a Beethoven sonata to inspired saxophone jazz.
Reaching Bamfield requires some research but it is well worth the effort and book early for accommodation. For us an added bonus was that my wife left behind a friends much valued walking stick and some days later when we discovered the loss and started to phone where we might have left it we had an immediate warm response and it is now on it's way back !

Make sure you get a scheduled tour with the public education department. Lots of knowledge and fun with the touch tanks. Beautiful location and view of the harbor. A must see if your going to Bamfield.

Nice place to visit. Very good learning environment. Being part of the science rather than reading it in a book. Friendly staff and scientists.

Friendly, informative tour that helped us to understand the local marine environment. Interesting for kids and teens. My pre-teen really enjoyed the tour. Worth a visit.

Very knowlegable people. I enjoyed my time studying the tide pools for hidden life. pretty amazing life happening in places that are easily overlooked if you don't pause to take a look.
