My husband and I took a group of teenagers there just before they put the electric lights in and it was amazing. I think it is a great place for young and old to visit and see the history of the Lighthouse. It is amazing! And - what a beautiful view as well.

What a great museum! First off, you can't beat the low price of admission! And it's a great place for kids and adults alike. I didn't have any kids with me on this trip, but I'd likely return with my niece and nephew on another visit. The volunteer staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I might not be a kid,... More

I've lived in Southern Maryland for 26 years now and the Calvert Marine Museum is my #1 attraction in all of Southern Maryland (as well as Flag Ponds Nature Park)!! This is a great museum for a small town - lots for the family to do here!! Visit the light house on a guided tour, speak with volunteers that are... More

My family and I really enjoyed ourselves here. We especially liked the lighthouse tour. It was beautiful and worth the trip.

My husband is a Chesapeake Bay waterman. He very much enjoyed the exhibits. Great for depicting life on the Bay.

Kids loved this museum, still talk about it 6mos+ later. Several activities, lots to read...not the best museum in the world but definitely top in attractions for the area if you're there visiting.

We visit the Calvert Marine Museum every summer and it never gets old. As our kids get older, they find new things to explore. From our 4 year old who lives the live otters, rays, and turtles to our 12 year old who is now interested in the different boat designs, this museum is a highlight of our time in... More

There were several instances where the staff was rude to others . It also was like the museum was their own private club and they didn't want people to intrude on their space.

I suggest using this place for a wedding rehearsal luncheon. The pavillion by the water was a gorgeous back drop. Very laid back and all of our guests loved it!

We love the Calvert Marine Museum and especially the otters. They have a touch tank and a little place to look for fossils. It is a very interesting place to learn more about the Chesapeake Bay and the kids love it!
