Rooted in Long Beach Island since 1948, LBIF brings people of all ages together through dynamic art exhibitions, hands-on science programming, educational camps, and community events.

Set on a 22-acre coastal campus, LBIF is a place where art meets science, curiosity is encouraged, and connections are made, between people, ideas, and the natural world that surrounds us. Through year-round programs and partnerships, LBIF fosters lifelong learning while celebrating the unique character, history, and environment of Long Beach Island.
