Opened on Boston’s historic waterfront in 1969, the New England Aquarium is one of the world’s first modern aquariums. Today, the Aquarium is home to nearly 10,000 marine animals across 70 exhibits and continues to inspire visitors of all ages to form a deeper connection to the ocean.
A can’t-miss stop on any Boston itinerary; the Aquarium showcases fascinating animals and diverse marine habitats from across the world. Dive into the aquatic world alongside knowledgeable Aquarium team members and learn about the organization’s continued legacy of protecting marine life.
Sharing Boston’s Central Wharf, the New England Aquarium Whale Watch and Simons Theatre offer additional enriching opportunities. Add an excursion to the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, one of the world’s most active marine sanctuaries, or take in a larger-than-life film and experience the wonders of the natural world in a new way.
Whether interacting with animals at the Shark and Ray Touch Tank or getting up close to a sea turtle in the Giant Ocean Tank, science and learning come to life at the New England Aquarium. A portion of every ticket sold helps support the Aquarium’s work to protect the blue planet.
