Review of New England Aquarium

My girlfriend and I had gone to Boston for the wee...

My girlfriend and I had gone to Boston for the weekend and this was what we were actually most excited for. Right away you can see a ton of penguins and learn about how overfishing is affecting marine life. There's seals, sharks, turtles, eels, jellyfish, manta rays, piranhas, tropical fish, shrimp, anenome, beautiful coral, seahorses and so much more. There's a space to touch some of the aquatic life - like starfish - with staff supervision. Perfect for the kids. There's a bundle package you can buy where you can get an imax ticket with your admission to the aquarium. The theater is right next store and offers documentaries about different aquatic life... and Pandas? Hah- at least when I went. Luckily, the popcorn, candy and soft drinks are a lot cheaper than those sold in regular movie theaters. The gift shop is a delight too. They sell clothing, jewelery, toys and other souvenirs. I would definitely go back. I was there for hours and I had a great time.
