Located right on Boston Harbor on Central Wharf, the New England Aquarium is home to animals from both the Northeast and around the world. Atlantic harbor seals greet guests from an outdoor habitat, and 3 of the 17 penguin species are represented here—you can use a beam of light to encourage them to play in the water, or show up at 9 am or 2:30 pm for feeding time.

Business description (4)
Since opening in 1969, New England Aquarium, a waterfront landmark has become one of Boston's biggest tourist attractions.

Other marine galleries contain piranha, sea otters...
New England Aquarium - This complex is home to more than 15,000 fish and aquatic mammals, and at busy times, it seems to contain at least that many people -- in July and August, try to make this your first stop of the morning, especially on weekends.
