New England Aquarium Description
The New England Aquarium features more than 20,000 fish and aquatic animals representing over 550 species within 70+ exhibits. A man-made Caribbean coral reef houses a large variety of tropical fish and underwater life including sharks, turtles and moray eels. The "Edge of the Sea" touch tank allows visitors to handle small invertebrates like crabs, sea stars and urchins. Outside the aquarium, visitors can watch Harbor seals play, perform and live in their enclosed habitat. The New England Aquarium also hosts temporary exhibits, educational programs and whale-watching tours outside of Boston Harbor.
