New York Aquarium

"Fantastic aquarium! The employees were super knowledgeable & all of the exhibits were interactive. Our kids (age range from 6 to 16) all enjoyed themselves. We got there at 10am on a Saturday morning & had no issue finding parking in the aquarium lot ($20). 100% worth the 2.5 hour drive from Connecticut. We are already planning our next visit!"

"We visited the aquarium in the middle of the week, and it was an absolute delight! The place wasn’t overly crowded, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy all the exhibits. My personal favorites were the sharks (especially the albino), octopus, stingrays, penguins, sea lions, seals, otters, and jellyfish. While the aquarium may not be massive, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. They have two gift shops with a variety of unique souvenirs. However, the cafe offers limited food options, so it might be better to bring your own snacks. We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to avoid any last-minute hassles. Overall, we left the aquarium feeling incredibly happy and relaxed. The friendly and helpful staff made the experience even more enjoyable."

"I loved this aquarium such beautiful tanks and fish. Sad to see so many corals dead tho probably half looked amazing. Tanks look so well maintained and fish look well fed and loved. The sea lions and seals were so sweet and seemed to love showing off to everyone. The tunnle is absolutely amazing. I could've spent all day there looking at all of the amazing tanks and creatures. Definitely recommend this aquarium to anyone and everyone. Went on a weekday and no one was there it was so great. The fish that stuck out the most to us was in the large tank when you first walk in. It swims around non stop and we have dubbed him taxi man.. he was incredible.."
