Windowpane Flounder at Maritime Gloucester’s Aquarium
Our windowpane flounders are masters of camouflage and can change their color to match the seafloor. Lots of amazing sea creatures can be found in our outdoor Aquarium, open daily through October from 10:00-6:00.

Hi guys,
I’d like to give a shoutout to Gloucester Rental Center. Go there if you need something for your Party, or Equipment & Tools. In order to refinish my deck I rented a monster orbital sander that worked wonders. It did exactly what I needed. And when I decided I needed a nail gun, it was a quick trip to rent that too! Great staff. They made it easy and flexible. If you are a homeowner you should be aware of this place. Plenty of times I have hesitated on a project because it is impossible to have all the tools, never thinking I could easily rent them. Check them out. I’m glad they are there.

Hi Joey, When I was a kid growing up in Gloucester in the 40’s we got our penny candy from Higgins store on the corner of Smith St by St Ann’s church I know they renamed the church but to me it’s still St Ann’s. Thanks for all the memories you bring up everyday…Grace Duncan
Good Morning Gloucester
