The small Los Vilos Aquarium, on Avenida Costanera, has a modest display of marine life native to the bay area, including various species of fish, snails and starfish, crabs and algae. The museum’s stated purpose is to educate the public about the local marine life so that they’ll treat the sea critters with more respect. Although it’s a humble display, the museum offers interactive guided activities for kids and periodically hosts special events like the ever-popular shark week.

Hours: Open year-round with hours that vary. Closed Monday.
