What travelers say:

The Boston Aquarium (New England Aquarium) is a place that both adults and children will like. It is better to go there in the morning, because you will not inspect it in 1 hour, and to get inside you need to stand in line for another half hour.The building itself has an unusual architecture, there is an Aquarium on the shore of the bay, there is a pier nearby, where there are both large ships and small yachts. From here, by the way, you can go to a meeting with whales by buying a hotel ticket at the Aquarium. A group of people is recruited, everyone is loaded onto the ship, raincoats are distributed and sent to the ocean, it is here that you can observe whales firsthand.The Aquarium also has its own cinema, which broadcasts films about the aquatic world, and you can get there for a fee.The entire exposition is built like a spiral, in the center of which there is a large aquarium, which can be viewed imperceptibly rising higher and higher. There are 3 or 4 such floors in total. In a large aquarium you can see sharks, giant turtles, and just various fish.There are smaller aquariums around the perimeter, in which incredibly beautiful jellyfish and smaller fish swim.Speaking of penguins, they are almost a landmark in Boston, even in the subway you can see large posters with them. The pond with penguins is located at the very bottom, it is divided into several sectors, because 3 (if I'm not mistaken) species of penguins live there. There are special "rocks" built there, where penguins pose for visitors. On the Aquarium's official website, you can find bird feeding hours, we really wanted to see this spectacle. Several workers in special suits descend into the pond, they have containers with fish and a tablet in which they apparently mark their wards. Penguins already know that they will be fed and rush to the workers, surround them and wait for the fish to fall to them. And visitors are watching with emotion from the balconies.
