Fideicomiso de Conservación e Historia de Vieques

Unfortunately at the time of my visit the aquarium was undergoing maintenance, but inside the historical museum, the informational displays had unique artifacts and great descriptions in both English and Spanish. It was really cool to learn more about the historical context of Vieques. The Staff were friendly. The gift shop has a good selection of children's and adult educational books, which was great to see! Perfect for a quick visit when in Esperanza, especially for families.

Small but informative museum that has a nice collection of artifacts and information that added substantial historical context to our trip. This especially thanks to Robert who is awesome and is a human encyclopedia when it comes to Vieques as well as an enthusiastic conservationist. We learned a lot about the evolution of Vieques culturally, economically and ecologically. I would’ve liked to have made this my first stop on the trip, and recommend it that way. They are always working on bettering their displays and welcome public feedback! So if you are highly opinionated on museum display, marketing, or have a great display idea, they are taking notes. The mini aquarium is neat. They do catch and release and rotate the types of fish and crustacean they have. The arrow crab is pretty cute. They also have a real live mangrove tree that they’ve been growing for 17yrs. Cool because you can see it up close and learn a little more about these protected species.

Biologist Airamzul Cabral-Guadalupe gave us a wonderful lesson on the bioluminescent plankton. So informative! Pictures and we got to look in her microscope. Highly recommend.

One of the best experiences. Kids enjoyed seeing live sea creatures (catch and release), learn about history and environment like mangrove trees, and learn about the bioluminescent bay. We were lucky enough to do a Bio bay tour and wow! Simply breathtaking to see and learn about just how special Vieques and Mosquito bay are. Highly recommend and hoping to be back for another visit and even a kids summer camp in the future.

Fun and quick little visit. Small and interesting aquariums with a decent gift shop too.

Safe place to hangout, lot of restaurant, continent store, ATM machine, bars and gift store around this area

Wonderful local history, small aquarium in the back, best place to ask advice.

Amazing museum and aquarium run on donations alone.
