If you want to stand in a crowdy place to see one pinguin staring at you, you have found the right place. Very expensive compare to other wonderful aquarium. more

Took our 4 year old twins to the Aquarium and Imax Theater. Very overpriced for what you get. The "'March of the Penguins" amounted to one penguin walking up and down on a mat in an area so small, with no real seating, my kids could not even see him, and we went there to see the penguins.

We did not find much information online, therefore we were not sure if it will be as good, but we found the Aquarium and the Imax to make our day a true success...

Our family recently had a great day at The Maritime Aquarium. The kids, of course, were wow-ed by the sharks, seals and giant sea turtles. We all enjoyed the IMAX movie "Pulse." What an experience it was on that huge screen! And we all walked away learning a little bit about the animals of Long Island Sound and feeling connected... more
