An amazing aquarium! If you can manage to go on a weekday, or as soon as it opens on a weekend, it's super quiet and empty. Really makes you feel like you're underwater. The tunnel and canyon's end tanks are my favorites.
I wish they had more special programs though, like wild encounters or special feedings to watch like they do at the zoos. I'd love to see the shark feeding.
great place!!! There are many types of beautiful and rare fish that you don't see in any other aquarium. I walked alone and really enjoyed every moment. There is a place outside with pools and you can see seals. The place is cozy and nice with a good atmosphere.
Great way to spend half a day with your family, enjoying breathtaking views and learning new things on the way!
Carefully designed space, filled with interactive content. On top of it, it feels good knowing that a portion of the ticket price goes to good causes.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. You can see all the exhibits in about two hours (including time for a snack at the cafe). Staff are friendly and helpful. They clearly are working on the infrastructure and exhibits, but what is open is really well done. Great for families with kids. Lots of kid-centered exhibits and activities.
Incredibly beautiful place that's a must visit while in New York. Children and adults can get lost in the wonder of underwater life while visiting here. There's so much to learn. The staff is kind and attentive and they will answer any questions. The place is free on Wednesdays (with prior reservation) but the $29+ ticket is definitely worth it. They've done an amazing job restoring it after the damage of hurricane Sandy. New York City is lucky to have an aquarium like this.
BTW. DON'T MISS THE SEA LION SHOW
We had an amazing day. The crowds were not too much. No wait to get in since we had tickets. No need to look for parking because they have a lot on site and it wasn’t too expensive. Everyone was friendly.
I would recommend the New York Aquarium to families, couples, and even to go alone. They have a beautiful selection of sea life on display. I would definitely recommend the California sea lion show, the show is probably 20 minutes to a 1/2 hour but certainly teaches all about the animals and how to treat our oceans. The New York Aquarium is very clean and they are big on recycling trash. All the workers are very helpful and kind. We went through all exhibits and saw all sea animals and shows in about 2 1/2 hours. Afterwords, we took a walk down the boardwalk at Coney Island which is located right behind the aquarium. I would also recommend looking into the membership it is worth it and you get discounts throughout the parks. Again, I would recommend The New York Aquarium.
L'aquarium est pas mal. Cependant c'est vraiment un endroit pédagogique pour les enfants. Les poissons sont magnifiques. Le tube sous les requins sympa. Le spectacle avec les lions de mer est un peu court, et pour les enfants...
Cela dit au global de la visite l'esprit véhiculé de protection de la biodiversité, de lutte contre la pollution...est vraiment sympa.
Mais a faire plutôt avec des enfants...
