New England Aquarium

New-England-Aquarium

The city of Boston has no shortage of sights to see. While you’re planning which to include on your visit, consider the New England Aquarium. In addition to a stellar sea life display, including a four-story coral reef tank, the Aquarium offers an IMAX theatre, whale watches, a penguin presentation, classes and special programs.  There are several ways to save on admission; those are listed on the Aquarium’s site.

The most endearing story related to the NEA is that of Andre the Seal.  In 1973, Andre spent the first of 9 winters at the NEA.  His summers were spent in Rockland, Maine, until his death in 1985.

There is a very full day of entertainment and education to be had at the NEA.  It will be a very memorable part of your visit to Boston.
