Four admission passes for the New England Aquarium valid through December, 31, 2017. These passes are not valid for the Simons IMAX Theatre.

The New England Aquarium, which opened in 1969, is a global leader in ocean exploration and marine conservation. The Aquarium is one of the premier visitor attractions in Boston, with over 1.3 million visitors a year, and a major public education resource.

The Aquarium is redefining what it means to be an aquarium: combining education, entertainment and action to address the most challenging problems facing the ocean. Through a wide variety of educational programs and conservation initiatives, we make a lasting impact globally.

The Aquarium is a global leader in saving endangered turtles. A new interactive exhibit gives you hands-on experience with the process of diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating these fascinating animals. Plus, you'll learn how communities are coming together to protect turtle habitats and get a glimpse at some of the Aquarium's greatest turtle rescue success stories.

In addition to three species of sea turtle, there are thousands of other aquatic animals to visit at the Aquarium. Don't miss the fearsome lionfish, the delicate leafy seadragons or go out back to see the Northern fur seals and California sea lions in action. And be sure to visit the Atlantic harbor seals out front.

Informative and entertaining live animal presentations happen at the Aquarium every day. During your visit, you can watch fur seals interact playfully with their trainers, turtles eat right from divers' hands, and penguins eagerly eating delicious treats. Live animal presentations allow visitors to get up close and personal with their favorite aquatic animals.
