If you have a Heritage Passport, you get a 20 percent reduction on all rates. Your ticket is good for the entire day. Given the detailed marine information you can find here, you'll definitely want to spend, at the very least, a couple of hours here. What's more, your ticket gives you access to the auditorium where you can watch movies about the ocean and marine conservation and exploration. Every month the institute hosts an Ocean Explorers' lecture series, followed by a buffet supper.
Speakers tend to be internationally known scientists and explorers.
Call for dates and price of lecture tickets. We emphasize that the institute is completely wheelchair-accessible and has bathrooms equipped for visitors in wheelchairs. We may be a colony, but we certainly have our own parliament. And yes, we do retain the British emphasis on pomp and ceremony. You're welcome to sit in the visitors' gallery and experience debates between government leaders and the opposition.
