If you really want to see an aquarium i would go to the main one in boston. this is a small acquarium with no really big aquatic life to justify going.

They have a decent selection of saltwater fish, but they tend to be on the expensive side. The guy who works in the saltwater section is super knowledgeable and very friendly.
