The New England Aquarium is a great place for kids and adults to enjoy marine life in the Boston area. In the center of the museum is a giant fish tank that includes everything that you would find in the ocean, including sharks. Stairs spiral around the fish tank as you make your way to each level. You can also see penquins, seals, and sea lions at the museum.

If you can obtsain discounted passes, this is a great outing. If not, it seems awefully expensive for how small and crowded it can get. Still, it is a fun day if your kids like fish like mine do!!

Nice place to go with little ones- the smaller the better. Lots of colors and sights for them to see. Very expensive (get a library pass if possible) and smal. Do not expect to fill more than a few hours there. Worth the trip in town if you have plans to do more than one thing.

The Aquarium is quite expensive, so look into library passes (or a membership if you'll come often). The huge tank in the middle is the prime attraction, and we love the jellies and the touch tank. This aquarium is a bit small and outdated compared to others we've been to, but my son really enjoys it.

And pretty expensive at that. VERY busy on the weekends!
