New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium is a fantastic place for kids to have a great time. Right from the entrance, they’ll get to see adorable Atlantic harbor seals. Inside, there are thousands of marine animals to learn about, with the highlight being the Giant Ocean Tank. This enormous tank, spread across four stories, features a vibrant coral reef habitat that provides a home to over 1,000 underwater creatures like green sea turtles, eels, and barracuda. There are also separate exhibits dedicated to penguins, sea jellies, and seadragons. Make sure to catch a movie on the six-story high projection screen with amazing surround sound, showcasing fascinating films about sea creatures. And don’t miss the chance to touch and interact with sharks and rays at the Shark and Ray Touch Tank. It’s an incredible experience!

A lot of visitors complain about how small the aquarium is, and because of that, it gets really crowded. Still, many people like the fact that there are different kinds of animals to see. Some travelers even suggest checking out the penguin or seal feeding.
