Review of New England Aquarium

It might not be what you expect, but it's absolute...

It might not be what you expect, but it's absolutely worth the visit. First, it's a lot smaller than you probably think. The large tank is the main exhibit and it's full of beautiful sea life. Unfortunately it seems to lack a lot of other attractions. It would be much better if it offered more educational stations for kids and more exhibits. Parking is expensive so the Blue Line on the T is your best bet. Lunch is overpriced and all fried so consider bringing sandwiches and snacks if you have younger children.

Despite this, it's definitely worth the visit. It's an exciting and magical place for young children. Try to keep them engaged, after they see the big tank there isn't too much left. Check out the penguin exhibit and the touch a star fish area for the full experience.
