  • We recommend that families book in advance and make a reservation to tour the facility. It is not required, but please know that on rainy days we can be very busy, and we can reach capacity quickly. If we reach capacity, we will ask visitors to return at a different time.

  • No, unfortunately, there is no onsite parking at the Shark Center Provincetown, but ample parking is available nearby. For more information on parking, visit provincetown-ma.gov.

  • The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy does not allow visitors or program participants to bring their pets on our property. We do allow service animals, as outlined by the Massachusetts’s disability rights law and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

    Under the Massachusett’s disability rights law, Emotional Support Animals are not service dogs, and we are not required by law to allow them entrance to our facility or on our property. Due to these dogs not being required to go through a certified training, we will deny access for any emotional support animal.
