At the New England Aquarium, immerse yourself in exhibits that feature thousands of animals from around the world. Greet our three species of penguins when you walk in and then try to spot the seadragons who
camouflage themselves among the leaves. Check out our giant, four-story coral reef exhibit and meet our sharks, sea turtles, eels, barracudas and hundreds of other animals. Watch seal training sessions and get up-close with some of the Earth’s most mysterious creatures during Live Animal Presentations. You can also cradle a seastar and feel the tickle of a horseshoe crab’s legs on your palm.
