Since opening in 1969, this
waterfront landmark has become
one of Boston's biggest tourist
attractions. The most famous
exhibit, the massive 200,000-gallon
"Giant Ocean Tank," has a
simulated Caribbean coral reef.
Sharks, sea turtles, moray eels
and tropical fish cruise by
crowds of children pressed
against the glass. Another
freshwater gallery contains
piranha. Visitors can view a sea
otter habitat and three species
of penguins. There are also hand-on
exhibits. The aquarium also
offers
whale watching
cruises and seal shows.
