Boston MA – New England Aquarium

A visit to the New England Aquarium in Boston proved worthwhile. Four levels that runs circular to a 9,000 gallon tank that includes a man-made coral reef. Starting at the bottom with the Penguins we wind our way to the top. Before our departure, we make sure to visit the Stingrays where my 9-year old grandson gets the opportunity to touch the stingrays.

Unfortunately the large crowds eliminated the ability to take a lot of photos. Here’s enough to give you a taste of what to expect.

Atlantic Harbour Seal

The Penguin Exhibit is the first animal to greet you when you enter the Aquarium.  The different coloured bands indicates where in the world they existed.  They come from all over the world and can co-exist.  Humans can certainly learn something from this.
