It was fun, exciting and experienced joyous memories, but to be honest, it was too exspensive. The pricing wasn't the stuff I was expecting. It had great penguins, fish, octopus, sting rays, but the sharks were really pathetic. They were so small and they were pups! I was expecting more like a big shark, and it was not what I saw. It was overpriced, at least you could do a fun 'touch the ray', where you keep your hand still underneath the water (this is supervised carefully) and you can tap the ray gently. I won't spoil the experience for you. it is worth going but way too expensive. My favourite were the seals and sea lions - their faces are so cute, so were the 2 turtles!

We had a great time at this aquarium. I think if you go into it with expectations of what you want to see by looking at the website and what they offer then you will not be disappointed. We went in March -it was busy, but it was not crowded. I think they could’ve offered more items in the gift shop for adults – most of it is geared towards children.

Our visit here was about three hours as we like to take pictures of everything. It was very clean, plenty of restrooms, reasonably priced and the animals looked happy. The penguin display is large and the seals had a rare one. There were not a lot of people to answer questions but we did find a staff member and she was great at answering questions and even walked with us a bit to another exhibit we had a question about. It was a nice way to spend some time and after we took a walk down the port.

We got to the aquarium right at 9 am when they opened. We bought our tickets online ahead of time which allowed us to get right in at 9 am and not have to wait in line. The seals and penguins were a huge hit with our family. The aquarium was clean, lots of interesting things to see, and the staff was very nice. The only complaint we had was that it was quiet until about 10 am and then it was overly crowded to the point it was difficult to see exhibits. We stayed for almost two hours and saw everything. However, in the end, it was hard to enjoy the exhibits. I would suggest going during the week if you can. It may be less crowded.

I visited 10 years ago and then returned last week. Its expensive to visit but well worth it, the displays are fantastic. As solo adults, we picked a quieter time without so many little ones. Fun for all ages and great for a rainy day!

This was not the best aquarium I have ever been to, but it was nice and helped to fill a couple hours we had in the afternoon. This is definitely not a place that will take all day to visit. The penguins, seals and sting rays were the highlights. Difficult to identify some of the fish in the tanks and the reading expected at some of the exhibits is not kid friendly. It would be nice if staff was more available to answer questions and provide general education. Aquarium is 4 small floors…5 if you count the top of the large center fish tank, but bathroom and water fountain were only on first floor which was a bit of an inconvenience..

The New England Aquarium was nice. It was packed which made it hard to navigate especially with someone in a wheelchair, but we managed. Did you know, wheelchair bound people get free admission? Neither did I, but was pleasantly surprised. Overall was fun, I would try going on a non rainy day so hopefully it's not as packed.

I live aquariums and I do like this one. It’s geared more for kids than I expected but it’s well laid out and easy to get around. I enjoyed the penguins the most. I feel it’s a little pricey - a family of four gets expensive. However it’s worth to check out once.

This review might be a bit unfair as I am from Chicago and the Shedd Aquarium is amazing. The main tank here is amazing! The coral arrangement and sea life in that, about 50-60 foot deep, tank is beautiful. There is a ramp that spirals from top to bottom so you can see the different levels. There is a penguin environment below and all around the tank that is very nice. It was quiet the day we were there and we could easily look into the tank, but if it were busy it could be an issue. Other than the tank, that is about it. There isn’t much else of interest. There is a small pool with three seals.

We chose to go here as it was covered with our GoCity pass. My uncle had visited here and said we should stop in to see it. This was a good recommendation. We were only able to stay for a few hours but it was fun to see. There was so much we didn't see as there was so much. Some of the exhibits had no sea life that we (or anybody else) could see.
