Since 1969 the New England Aquarium has been a global leader in ocean exploration and marine conservation. It is the only Boston-based cultural institution with a mission focused solely on the environment, encouraging the importance of protecting the planet through educational programs and innovative exhibits. Discover the depth of the oceans and visit thousands of marine animals in four floors of world-class exhibits.
Some of the exhibits include the largest shark and ray touch tank on the East Coast, as well as the Giant Ocean Tank--a four-story coral reef home to Myrtle the green sea turtle and hundreds of other Caribbean animals.
