Casa dos Botes Discovery Center
A new family-friendly interactive zone that’s a must see for kids.
Casa dos Botes Discovery Center honors the legacy and heritage of the Portuguese Community. The Discovery Center is located on the same site where members of New Bedford’s Azorean community first began constructing whaleboats in the city in 1997. Families are invited to explore and learn together through a variety of maritime-themed activities. How to get to Discovery Center
