My family had a wonderful visit. I appreciate how they made sure we were all enjoying ourselves.

(Translated) This eco-center on lobster is a must in my opinion. The visit lasts 20 minutes and very interesting and I learned a lot about lobster that I like to eat on my plate. You will see all the specimens I photographed in blue lobster and an albino lobster. Both children and adults will appreciate this 20 minutes spent with specialists in the field. (Original) Cette écocentre sur le homard est un incontournable selon moi. La visite qui dure 20 minutes et très intéressante et j'ai appris beaucoup sur le homard que j'aime tant déguster dans mon assiette.

Autant les enfants que les grands apprécieront ce 20 minutes passées avec des spécialistes en la matière.

(Translated) very good to learn about lobster and between you and me makes you hungry !!!!! (; (Original) tres bien pour en apprendre sur les homard et entre vous et moi sa donne faim!!!!!(;

Geneviève Latour

(Translated) Nice visit where we learned many things about lobster. The guide knew the subject well and showed us beautiful specimens. I remove a star because I found the total price of the visit a bit expensive. The dock where the center is located is also a nice place to walk, eat and shop a little. The big lobster from Shediac is nearby so it's worth visiting these two places in one visit. Note that parking to access the site costs $ 3. (Original) Belle visite où nous avons appris plusieurs choses sur le homard. La guide connaissait bien le sujet et nous a montré des beaux spécimens. J'enlève une étoile car j'ai trouvé le prix total de la visite un peu cher. Le quai où se trouve le centre est aussi un belle endroit pour se promener, manger et magasiner un peu. Le gros homard de Shediac est tout près donc ça vaut la peine de visiter ces deux endroits en une même visite. À noter que le stationnement pour accéder au site coûte 3$.

Alain Quirion

(Translated) Very good explanations on the life cycle of lobster. A virtual reality visit on a fishing boat completes the presentation. We also saw a lobster, blue, yellow and a last albino.

Nous avons également pu voir un homard, bleu, jaune et un dernier albinos.

(Translated) Very rewarding and informative visit. The guide who made us visit was very patient and smiling with our little girl of 3 years and a half who asked a ton of questions. Opportunity to see lobsters and touching lobsters (blue, yellow, albino) of an impressive rarity, in the genre. You can see the whole process of lobster growth, as well as their anatomy. In short, an amazing discovery that will appeal to both children and their parents, and for a very small sum. A must see. (Original) Visite très enrichissante et instructive. La guide qui nous a fait faire la visite a été très patiente et souriante avec notre petite fille de 3 ans et demi qui posait une tonne de questions. Possibilité de voir des homards et toucher des homards ( bleu, jaune, albinos) d'une rareté impressionnante, dans le genre. On peut y voir tout le processus de croissance des homards, de même que leur anatomie. Bref, une découverte étonnante qui plaira autant aux petits qu'à leurs parents, et ce pour une très modique somme. À voir absolument.
