User reviews of New England Aquarium
Not worth it.
The penguins display was very interesting and fun. Otherwise, the place was much smaller than I expected, and very dirty. If you've ever been to any other aquarium, save your money.

(Report Problem)Not much changes
Since not much changes at the Aquarium the excitement involves remembering the first time you saw it....15 years ago when you were a kid! The best part about going is bringing someone who has never seen it before.

(Report Problem)A good time for all and what have you.
The exhibits rocked, especially the penguins and Jellyfish. The price is pretty standard, and if you pay attention to the schedules you can see lots of cool shows and feedings. the pillar tank in the center is endless fun, as is what i like to call the "mess with the penguin light." The children are loud and bothersome, but hey, aren't they always?

(Report Problem)Never going back
It was such a tiny aquarium and all you see are penguins. It was such a small aquarium that it only takes a hour to go through everything

(Report Problem)Wow! I want to go back!!
WOW! The New England Aquarium was one of my favorite stops! We had CityPasses and got right in. We arrived just ahead of a very large group of schoolkids that had no manners...they were running and shouting and being generally disruptive-but who blame them? The Aquarium was AWESOME!!! The Carribean reef tank in the middle was very cool-we got to see sharks and turtles and rays and tunas and barracudas... The other displays were very nice as well; the signs with pictures to identify the fish were nice touches, there was an amazing variety. The penguins were SO CUTE! Iff I were to work at an aquarium, that opr scuba diving would be my jobs of choice. It was too bad that the Whale Watch wasn't open yet, but overall, a great time!!!

(Report Problem)Skip it
If you have visted other aquariums in the US, such as Monterey Bay or Long Beach, this one disappoints. It is small and crowded. If you are lucky enough to find a guide/employee, they are little help in identifying any of the fish/animals.

(Report Problem)Parking cost needs improvement.
Yesterday, I went to the NE Aquarium. Total price? About $70 for two adults, almost half of which went towards parking in the parking garage. $28, I think, is a bit much. Perhaps they could cut a deal on the parking price if you show your Aquariam ticket. I know, it'll never happen. I wasn't very impressed with the contents of the aquariam. I felt that there should have been more animals, but maybe I'm underestimating just how many they have. In my experience, the best part was watching the 3D IMAX film. Next time, I'll try the Aquarium in Mystic, CT.

(Report Problem)Not worth the $$ Look in your local Pond
This was not worth the $15 they charge the aquariums at home are cheaper and bigger and have more to look at. We spent more time in the gift shop loooking at small stuffed animals that cost around the same as a small car. We were very disappointed that an aquarium on the ocean didn't have more to see. there were many of the same fish in different sections
