The Atlantis Aquarium Facility and the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation overlooking thePeconic River is both a popular tourist site and a partner in education for the local schools. In addition, the Science Museum, Suffolk County Historical Society, the East End Arts Center, and Cornell Cooperative Extension are popular partners in learning. Students who attend the Riverhead School District are drawn from three townships, Riverhead, Brookhaven and Southampton. Riverhead has worked hard to improve the waterfront, add popular destinations like the Tanger Outlet Center and Splish Splash Water Park, while maintaining its natural rural attractions.
