New England Aquarium Admission
Long time
Since I have been able to visit the Aquarium, Since moving to Fla.in 1985, I don't go up to my hometownn of Boston very often now, however, I think it's time to plan a trip. I am amazed at how much the Aquarium has changed and the extras it now has to offer. Last time there, the biggest attraction was the GIANT ocean tank. Time to see the new attractions, including the whale watching cruise, and the IMAX theatre.
