29-Foot Authentic Indoor Lobster Boat
Climb aboard our 29-foot authentic indoor lobster boat! It’s a great place for kids (and adults) to play and explore and learn about lobstering.
This isn’t some boat-like structure built in an exhibit workshop. The Audrey M is the real thing—a full-size, genuine lobster boat that kids and adults can climb on to get a feel for what it’s like to be on a working lobster boat (and yes, our building was actually built around the boat).
