Wine and spirit tastings are available at the Winery.

Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Plenty of free parking.
Cost of admission to Museum: $3 per person. Children age 5 and under are free. Families are $10.

You do not have to pay admission to access the gift shop or the penny machine.

Machine 1 is inside the room adjacent to the gift shop. Cost to press: $1.00 each design. This is a new type of machine that takes a $1.00 (dollar bills only; no quarters accepted) for each design, or a tap/swipe credit card for a $1.00 charge for each design only and after hand cranking, presses a pre-loaded zinc penny. Designs all have a solid ringed border with 'International Mermaid Museum Washington Coast':
1. (H) Mermaid tail and mermaid emerging from the water.
2. (V) Mermaid standing facing back.
3. (V) Mermaid standing facing right with hair blowing left.
4. (V) Mermaid standing facing right, hair blowing right.
