Our first stop was the wonderful ice sculpture right in front.
The first thing were the Harbor Seals out front. These are always a big hit with Katelin.
Right inside were the penguins. These were my favorite!
We saw so many really cool marine animals-sea dragons, frogs and the jellyfish were beautifully colored.
Katelin's favorite place was the Giant Tank with sharks, turtles and colorful fish!.
As for the petting area, I'm not sure if she liked it or not or just thought it was funny!
We finished off at the fur seal show, which was a big hit with everyone!
But at the end of the day, just like at the zoo, Katelin's favorite animal of all...Fox :)
One more shot of the ice penguins, now somewhat melted from a nice warm day, and a shot of Boston on the way out.
For parents-be aware that it's a pricey ticket $21 for adults $13+ for kids, and no AAA discount. There's some breaks for students/seniors and people in wheelchairs are free. The parking was...outrageous at $35 but I hear it's less if you don't park in the closest garage. Check out visitor information here.
I found the food to be reasonably priced and good. The getting around was fairly easy, though it was very crowded that day. The only thing was no buttons to push to open doors and it made it difficult with Katelin's chair. The ramp around the Giant Tank was a bit steep, but that couldn't be helped. There is an elevator that goes almost to the top, I'd recommend going up and then coming down the ramp.
The gift shop offered a wide variety of souveniers, so beautiful glassworked octopi and the toy penquins were super soft. All in all a perfect way to start off the New Year!
It looks like interesting Aquarium. I just read your profile. It is amazing how many talented women are among us (mother, poet, US Navy veteran...)
