When you look at this aquarium on their website it looks amazing. We planned to spend the morning here with our 2 year old. We got round in an hour and a half. The aquarium is quite small and even though it was not busy, we were not allowed to take our childs buggy in certain areas. We explained that... more

The actual aquarium is a somewhat old/dated building bit has much to offer. The harbor seals out front are extremely enjoyable to watch and the penguins insdie can be just as entertaining. The aqarium is clean and has a lot for kids. The IMAX next door is one of the biggest in the country and has several different programs with... more

The New England Aquarium is a great place to spend some quality time. My kids, who are now teenagers, still love to visit the aquarium. I think our favorite attraction are the penguines as you first walk in the door. I could spend hours watching them play. If you check your local libraries you may be able to locate day... more

The best thing was the big... more

I guess we got lucky going on a week day. We spent a good 2.5 hrs inside and enjoyed every exhibit from the jelly fish to the penguins... more

We stopped by the aquarium on a saturday after walking around the downtown area. It was very crowded but we thought we'd visit while in the area. While there are different exhibits in the aquarium the centerpiece is a giant "ocean tank" featuring several Giant Turtles. The aquarium was interesting and the tank was unique. But it seemed geared more... more

Very good place to visit if you want something different and educational. It is true the place is a little old but does still offer a lot. The giant tank is fascinating! Be sure to wach presentations. Do not miss the jelly fish exhibits in the basement! The touch tank is a good place to go if you have never... more

Despite being small, this is a great aquarium. I went on a Thursday in late May. It was a little crowded, but not too bad. It was such an enjoyable experience. The central tank is absolutely amazing. You can see it from so many different directions and angles. Having the spiral walkway going from the bottom to top is genius.... more
