Fee Donation requested Exhibits Visitors to WHOI's Ocean Science Exhibit Center will learn about the Institution's ocean science research and the vessels and tools developed by WHOI engineers and scientists for use in that research. Short videos provide an introduction to WHOI, show a day in the life of the deep submersible Alvin, and highlight the 1985-1986 discovery and exploration of the wreck of the Titanic. Visitors can step inside a full-size model of the inner sphere of Alvin and imagine life at the ocean floor while watching vivid footage taken at deep-sea hydrothermal vent sites. An interactive exhibit features whale and dolphin research and explores the roles sound and hearing play in the lives of marine mammals. Other exhibits and videos feature the life forms and natural processes of the deep sea. We ask a $2 donation per person for those 10 years of age and older. We also ask that groups of 10 or more people call for a reservation at 508-289-2663. Group Visits The WHOI Ocean Science Exhibit Center provides a window into the research conducted at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. We will help groups of 10 or more arrange a visit to the Center and provide information packets and maps in advance of your visit. » Learn more about group visits Science Made Public During July and August, the Exhibit Center and Information Office sponsors a series of public talks by WHOI scientists and engineers.
