Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Whale watching, field trips, IMAX films, and just plain touring the aquarium are all part of the experience. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. The aquarium offers visitors a chance to witness marine life being cared for by veterinarians. Have you seen a turtle getting a cast for its broken shell? A cowfish getting an eye exam? An orphaned, malnourished seal pup gratefully gulping a nutritious squid shake? You might at the NEA.
Extras: Shows, Educational Presentations, Tours.
Open 9 am to 5 pm. $$$ (Expensive)
From New England Aquarium - Boston, Massachusetts:
At the New England Aquarium in Boston, families can see close-ups of the marine life being cared for by veterinarians. Combine the creatures of a Jacques Cousteau special with the drama of ER and you get the appeal of the Aquarium Medical Center at the New England Aquarium. As visitors watch through observation windows, veterinarians perform procedures such as an ultrasound on a sea raven and an EKG on a penguin.
