Ho-leee SHIT! Does this place have some sea lions! They've got that ocean tank with the sharks and all the fish. The penguins pool. That winding pathway that goes all the way up around the ocean...

A great outing for kids. My daughters love the harbor seals outside, the sea lion show and checking out all the exhibits. A word of caution: the Omni movie theatre was very frightening to my two-year old.

My one year old twins did not get much out of the aquarium experience so this is best for the 3 year olds and up crowd. We bought a year's pass and regret it now.

I took my one-year-old here not really knowing if she was too young or not. No way! She had a blast. The huge penguin area is easily viewed by children of all heights (even in strollers) because of the glass...

This place is dated. They ended the seal show :( But still they baby loved the bright colored fish. You can't spend the day there just plan on 2 hours.

The place I always bring my guests to, whether they are from out of state or from across the oceans, is The New England Aquarium. They have so many fascinating things to see, its got a great, central location...

This is an amazing place. There are pengguins on the first floor, and the entire building on the inside is like a huge open Guggenheim Museum with a mammoth central aquarium.

This is not the most impressive aquarium I have ever been to...It's kind of on the small side...I had planned on doing a whole day trip but it was really only good for an hour or 2. It might be good to combine...

Not cheap,but kids love it. It's not as big as some aquariums I've been to, but the tank in the middle is a great place to watch fish swimming by and the penguins are fun.

I find this museum to be too chaotic and "non-linear" to bring younger children to (under 7?). The prices are shamefully exhorbitant, and the parking situation is horrendous. If you drive (and the T is not...
