ABOUT AWSC SHARK CENTERS

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy now has two outreach facilities to engage the public in shark education. Each facility has different exhibits, designed to engage families and teach them about white shark research, conservation, and natural history. You can visit one, or both, for a jawesome experience learning about white sharks!

Please know that our Shark Center Chatham facility operates year-round, whereas Provincetown is seasonal from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. Our community and education programs are based out of the Chatham facility.

The AWSC Shark Centers offer an in-depth look at one of the ocean's most magnificent and misunderstood species: the Great White Shark! Through interactive exhibits, videos, and displays, the centers offer many ways to learn about groundbreaking research and one of Cape Cod's most captivating summer residents. The Shark Centers cater to all shark enthusiasts, making a visit the perfect activity for kids and adults all summer long -rainy days included!
