Summer Hours! We are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Labor Day.

Ever Wonder What Earth Was Like 200 Million Years Ago?

Visit our new Sturgeon Touch Tank for an up-close encounter with Atlantic sturgeon, whose ancestors swam through the water long before dinosaurs roamed!

Be sure to stop by the Atlantic sturgeon’s new 32-foot, 7,000-gallon habitat – located next to the North American river otters – during your next visit to the Aquarium.
