Why you should buy your ticket on Parks & Fun.
Highlights
Want to make friends with some fish or maybe learn more about the oceans? Show your smartphone ticket and enter the New England Aquarium.
Observe the ocean fauna swimming around you: seals, sea lions, penguins, turtles, jellyfish. Try to touch the rays in their tank and try to spot the moment when the octopus changes color: it's a spectacle that doesn't happen every day.
Visit Boston’s most popular tourist attraction, the impressive New England Aquarium, where the star attraction is a giant 200,000-gallon ocean tank! Don’t miss the new Tatoosh Octopus in the Olympic Coast Exhibit, which is also home to many other marine animals from this Pacific Northwest region.
The New England Aquarium is a nonprofit research and conservation organization that has been protecting and caring for our ocean and marine animals for over 50 years. It inspires everyone to connect with the ocean and take action to protect it!
