The New England Aquarium |
| |
The Aquarium's mission is "to present, promote and protect
the world of water." We believe the Aquarium fulfills this mission admirably,
providing you with an opportunity to marvel at the beauty of starfish and brilliantly
colored fish and to laugh at the playful antics of the penguins and sea mammals.
Located by the Boston Harbor, the aquarium is not only an educational experience;
it is truly fun for both kids and adults. |
