Mystic Aquarium is a marine aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. The aquarium is home to thousands of species of marine mammals, fish, invertebrates and reptiles. It is one of only two U.S. facilities holding Steller sea lions, and it has the only beluga whales in New England. Special exhibits include a ray and shark touch pool, an African penguin exhibit, a jelly gallery, and the "Jurassic Giants" dinosaur exhibit.

Kids of all ages love getting their hands wet when touching sharks, stingrays or crabs and shriek with joy when they come face-to-face with any Aquarium animal. Countless opportunities to "dive deeper" into discovery through hands-on and interactive exhibits; live presentations during animal training and feeding sessions and exciting shows featuring California sea lions that demonstrate their natural behaviors and even 3-D adventures in two different theaters offers a little "something for everyone!"

Enjoy the day exploring both indoor and outdoor exhibits at your leisure where you'll discover thousands of animals including beluga whales (the ONLY in New England!), African penguins, frogs, fish and more.
