Interpretation center
Located just a stone's throw from the sea, Exploramer is dedicated to interpret and to exploit the marine environment. You could visit, among other things, few itinerant exhibitions, which talk about the sea, its resources and its utilisation by the man. This year, the beluga is the star with the exhibition "Pour la suite des bélugas", realised by the Biôdome de Montréal.

Exploramer also suggests a journey under the waters of the St. Lawrence River with the exhibition "The sea", that presents numerous aquariums and a hands-on-bassin, where many species of the marine environment of the St. Lawrence River live.
