Visitors to the New England Aquarium can reach out and gently touch cownose rays, Atlantic rays, and epaulette sharks as they swim through the The Trust Family Foundation Shark and Ray Touch Tank, then dive into the Science of Sharks at our brand new exhibit featuring shark species from around the world. Meet three different species of penguins and pet a sea star, meet a lobster, or cradle a hermit crab at the Edge of the Sea’s tidepool touch tank. Wind your way along the four-story Giant Ocean Tank and be mesmerized by the 200,000-gallon Caribbean coral reef exhibit teeming with more than 1,000 marine animals.
