About this activity

Are you excited to explore vibrant coral reefs from the Bahamas and the tropical Pacific to temperate Australia? Are you keen to meet the lionfish and the stonefish, who are some of the most poisonous fishes in the sea? Well, welcome to New England Aquarium!

This popular aquarium is where kids can explore the amazing creatures that live beneath our oceans, without getting wet!

There are thousands of aquatic animals that call the aquarium home, from adorable blue penguins, to the delicate leafy seadragon, and the lumbering sea green turtle. 

Kids can come face to face with the charming Atlantic Harbor Seal, or marvel at the American Lobster in all it's glory. From the cheeky balloon fish, to the slithering Green Anaconda, and colorful Pacific Sea Nettles, kids will be amazed at all the wonderful creatures that share the Earth, that they might never have seen before!

Through the various exhibits, kids can enjoy an entertaining and educational experience. They can reach out and gently touch cownose rays and epaulette sharks in the Trust Family Foundation Shark and Ray Touch Tank, then dive into the Science of Sharks exhibit, featuring sharks from all around the world.

They can cradle a hermit crab at the Edge of the Sea's tidepool touch tank, or wind their way along the four-story Giant Ocean Tank filled with more than 1,000 marine animals and stunning coral reefs. 

Don't forget to ask the Aquarium educators any questions that you may have along the way. They are there to help!

A deep dive day out in Boston, Massachusetts, where the underwater adventure is waiting!
