Keep Our Otters Local!

Mac and Tuck, our resident river otters, depend on us every single day for specialized care, food, enrichment, and a safe habitat. Those needs can’t be paused—but rising costs and seasonal attendance dips are putting real strain on our small community museum.

The Delmarva Discovery Museum is a vital place for the Eastern Shore to learn, explore, and connect with our waterways and wildlife. With your help now, we can keep our doors open, our staff working, and our otters healthy and thriving.

Every donation supports daily otter care and keeps discovery alive in our community. Please donate or share today—our otters can’t wait.

Awesome little museum. Super engaging and great for families with kids. Uniquely creative displays and dioramas with a good selection of fish and reptiles. Their Otters enclosure is amazing.

We found it by accident, looking for a restaurant which was nearby. My wife and I and our grandsons had a great time in there. So much interactivity as well as cool things for the kids to do. It was well worth the stop
