New England Aquarium

  Rising alongside the Boston waterfront, New England Aquarium serves as a key hub for marine education and conservation. Established in 1969, it houses a stunning 40-foot 1,000,000-gallon Caribbean coral reef tank that hosts over 600 species, from colorful fish to mesmerizing sea turtles. The aquarium is located at 1 Central Wharf, just a short walk from the historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace, making it convenient for visitors exploring downtown Boston. During the summer months, guests can enjoy outdoor screenings of marine films under the stars at the aquarium's IMAX theater. With interactive exhibits like the touch tank and daily animal presentations, there's plenty for both adults and children to explore and learn.
