Hi HN, I’m really interested in marine biology and cephalopods. I’ll be traveling in Maine and would love to know if there are aquariums, research centers, or even public tidepool areas where I could see a live octopus.

Any tips on locations, institutions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

There was a giant Pacific octopus at the aquarium in Boston but it appears he passed in '21.

I'm in Maine but the last octopus I saw was in Salt Lake City.
