New England Aquarium

Immerse yourself in the magnificent marine world of the New England Aquarium. Over 70 exhibits feature species from all around the world, from seaturtles to sharks to tropical fish—plus a 6-story IMAX® screen!

The more than 70 exhibits at the New England Aquarium contain almost every type of marine creature imaginable, from the lumbering, 500-pound (227 kg) seaturtle to a tapestry of colorful tropical fish. Flap your arms at the penguins and then admire the Giant Ocean Tank—a 4-story, 200,000-gallon (757,082-liter) tank is home to seaturtles, sharks, and numerous fish. Finally, cradle a sea star or horseshoe crab at the Edge of the Sea, a hands-on tide pool.

The work of the New England Aquarium extends beyond Central Wharf in Boston. They participate in research and conservation projects worldwide, from studying the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale to saving the endangered Hector's dolphin in New Zealand.

Simons IMAX® Theatre: Experience a thrilling, up-close encounter on a 6-story IMAX® screen! Through the magic of IMAX® and IMAX® 3D, you can visit animals and habitats that are too large, too small, or too endangered to exhibit in an aquarium.
