The New England aquarium is a fabulous place to go. Very clean. Well maintained. Visitors just need to be aware that you Can not use flash on camera/iphone. I went to see the Great Pacific Octopus and I was told its hiding due to a camera flash earlier. I was able to see some suction cups in his arms. The poor thing. Your volunteers are very knowledgeable and if they don't answer, they will try to find the answer. Overall an awesome experience.

The aquarium visit was outstanding. We learned about penguins up close and watched them get fed, the fish tanks were clean and incredibly beautiful and the sea lions were so fun to watch. It was well worth the money and a fun experience.

A very beautiful and well-organized aquarium. I particularly enjoyed the impressive pyramid-shaped structure, which makes the whole visit even more unique and enjoyable. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth a visit.

I had a wonderful time visiting the New England Aquarium! The exhibits were beautiful and well maintained, and it was amazing to see so many incredible marine animals up close. The Giant Ocean Tank was definitely the highlight of my visit, and I also enjoyed watching the playful penguins. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. It’s a great place for families, couples, or anyone who loves ocean life. I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in Boston!
