The New York Aquarium in Brooklyn is supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society, and naturally contains a number of interesting species. Just located off the boardwalk of Coney Island, this little aquarium is a nice place to spend a couple of hours with family, friends, or loved ones. It has a wide range of different fish species as well as... More

The good parts were little fish that look like umbrellas that glow and gigantic walruses. Otherwise it is not entertaining. I've seen better aquariums where divers interact with the creatures.

It was a pretty fun trip to the aquarium; it was almost like half aquarium and half zoo because they had a lot of outdoors large sea mammals. It was very fun!

This aquarium is far away from the center of Brooklyn. The worst aquarium I have ever been to. One of the most overrated places in Coney Island, visiting it will only disappoint. With so much else to see in the area do not waste your time here.

There are also seal/dolphin shows, nice cafe/snack areas and, of course, a nice gift... More

They used to have Beluga Whales in a huge two-story tank as you walked in. This was my favorite exhibit, but it is no longer there. There also seemed to be very few other mammals--maybe they... More

The numerous marine exhibits should be a hit with family members of all ages. It's on the ocean and there's a lot to see outside, so dress accordingly in cold weather. Afterward, take a stroll down to boardwalk to nearby Coney Island.
