- Anthony D PaulJanuary 1, 2013The teacher discount is bogus. Rude cashier requested a pay stub over teacher ID, as if anyone carries that on vacation.
Yousif DMay 26, 2015Overrated. Who the hell this place is rated #1 as attraction in Boston greatest area 😐😐😐
Dustin Todd RennellsFebruary 1, 2010WAIT! Before you pay $26 to get in or whatever outrageous price it is, skip it. Walk around the exterior, check out the sealife in the open outdoor tank and then just go watch an IMAX. It's a total
MaggieJuly 11, 2010Teachers get into the Aquarium free... IMAX get no discount... despite what they said at educator night here...
- Misty EdgecombNovember 28, 2011Bad day at the office? Coffee and seal watching just may be the perfect remedy.
AmesicleMarch 4, 2012too busy on Sundays... don't bother going not worth the annoyance. Plus its a pretty small aquarium IMO.
Christian Alvarez3 days agoAmazing aquarium. Check out the sea turtles at the top of the tank! She’s over 500 lbs!
Chris HenshawSeptember 29, 2010This place sucks. The price is outrageous and they don't even have any dolphins or whales or polar bears or walruses. Plus the photo company is crap.
AdrianaJanuary 3, 2019El tanque está hermoso. Variedad de especies y bien cuidado. Súper para los niños y grandes!! No es muy grande. Pasé un gran momento aquí!
Enrique SepúlvedaAugust 26, 2016Muy bonito. Muchas especies y un tanque gigante en el centro del acuario. 1:30 de paseo asegurado.
OxanaMay 3, 2016Отличный аквариум: бассейн со скатами , которых можно гладить и акулы там же. Красиво. Интересно смотреть на кормежку рыб, шоу.

"Absolutely worth at least one visit, especially with the family. Really well kept and organized. Tickets at the booth can be pricey so try to find deals online."
