Hamilton tourist information
Moving on to the east, we come to Hamilton Parish, which surrounds most of Harrington Sound. One of the parish's most famous landmarks, the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo is located at Flatts Inlet, the only boat entrance into the sound. Built in 1926 and opened in 1928, it is one of the oldest continuously operating aquariums in the New World. Here you can learn about the intriguing wildlife and environment of Bermuda, plus the wildlife of other islands, including Australasia, Madagascar and the Caribbean islands. Tours are available Fridays from 8:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; and free animal feeding tours are offered at 1:10 p.m. daily from April through September. Tours are given on Saturdays and Sundays only in the months of October through March. The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo also sponsors children's programs and camps throughout the summer months, plus lectures and nature walks.
The Bermuda Perfumery and Gardens, on North Shore Road in Bailey's Bay, is well worth a visit. Dating back to 1929, Bermuda's one perfumery is still thriving in a quaint Bermudian farmhouse that is nearly 250 years old. Guides explain the ancient process of extracting fragrance from flowers, detailing how perfume was made in the past, as well as how it is made today. A nature trail winds through six acres of lush gardens bursting with hibiscus, ginger, passionflower, old garden roses, orchids and blooming vines. Rest areas let you pause and admire the fragrant splendor. The Bermuda Perfumery and Gardens are open Monday through Saturday from 9:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the months of April through October only. Admission is free.
The Crystal Caves, on Wilkinson Avenue, are named for the subterranean pools of incredibly clear waters fed by Castle Harbour. Their known discovery dates back to 1907. You can walk along a pontoon bridge to admire the stalactites and stalagmites forming shapes that change only one cubic inch every 100 years. The caves are open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m.
