New York Aquarium
New York Aquarium Review
Home to more than 8,000 creatures of the ocean, New York City's only aquarium is also the nation's oldest. Tropical fish, sea horses, and jellyfish luxuriate in large tanks; otters, walruses, penguins, and seals lounge on a replicated Pacific coast; and a 90,000-gallon tank is home to several different types of sharks. The New York Aquarium is currently set to reopen in late spring 2013, after sustaining damage from Hurricane Sandy; call ahead for re-opening dates and times.
