 New England Aquarium
Blue Line to Aquarium
Embark upon an aquatic excursion through the seas of New England and beyond. As you walk alongside a gargantuan ocean tank reaching four stories high, witness a variety of sea life: sharks, turtles, moray eels and a frenzy of fish. Decorated throughout the tank is coral reef to simulate natural ocean scenery. At the very top of the tank you can catch a bird's eye view and watch as divers feed treats to the marine life. Other intriguing exhibits include: jellies, sea lions, penguins and hundreds of other aquatic specimens. Look for the rockhopper penguins. They're the ones with hairy tufts prickling out from the side of their heads.
