New York Aquarium

Beautiful aquarium! It was very clean and well maintained. The exhibits were awesome! Loved the shark exhibit and the wrap around/ over head aquarium when you first walk in. It was reasonably priced. The sea lions were very playful after getting their dinner and were very entertaining. Will definitely be back!

It was a great experience. I was enjoying it alot until my child's stroller was stolen. They have areas that you are not allowed to bring strollers and have an area to leave strollers. You would think security would be observing or have a system to ensure that this doesn't happen. I did make a report at admissions but security basically told me there was nothing they could do. Separate and apart from that, the place is clean, lots of interactive areas and lots of walking. The Cafe had good meals 8/10 (tenders, hot dogs etc.), lots of activities to keep you occupied for hours at a time. Spent 3+ hours exploring everything including the 4D theater

I like it in the weekday when there’s basically no one there when you can enjoy people free in the entire aquarium! The parking was very easy and there’s plenty of parking space, it cost $18 for 3 hours. We bought the zoo pass for an year but the regular ticket is $29 for adult and $25 for kid. The park was smaller than I expected and you can tell there are few places need to improve as well. Some tanks were not nice that might need to be cleaned but overall was a good experience, and it’s good for the little ones. My toddler enjoyed it a lot and she didn’t even wanna leave. We spent about 2.5 hours there to go through the entire aquarium, I think there will be more activities during the warmer days. The food court and cafe were closed when we were there. Will visit back again in the summer!

My ex took me here 10+ years ago, and I just remember having the best day of my life here. Now, going forward in life, I plan to take my kids to all the amazing places I have been from Montauk to Manhattan. This aquarium is 10x better than Riverhead. Listen if you’re coming from east to west the traffic blows on the belt pkwy by JFK but trust me it is worth it. Right now the aquarium is under construction but it is still worth it, and due to some mammals being able to catch Corona, not all the sites are fully open, however there is still so much to see and do, it is absolutely beautiful and fairly priced. I think by summer everything should be back to normal and you can see the sea lion show. There is also a 20 minute educational 3D show on you way out, you gotta see it do not skip it! It is so cool and in the summer they mist you, it was cold the day we went so we did not get misted… but that is ok… there is always next time! You can bring your own food there is indoor and outdoor seating, it was windy and I had to feed a 9 month old so we sat inside. But this is absolutely one of my most favorite places to go and they have an indoor kid area that is absolutely beautiful and the kids love, so us parents can sit and catch a rest. I love the walkthrough with the fish above and all around their is also one small one for the kids to be able to go under, I went under with both but unfortunately that single mom life lol that moment couldn’t be recorded my ma tried but she had to have eyes on Troy. The gift shops are also very fairly priced not expensive. The tickets not expensive either but cheaper to go Monday through Thursday. We had to go Friday so it was a little extra but not by much! The sharks are all over and swim right up to you, it is just beautiful and relaxing, so much to see and do here, it it definitely a good 4-6 hour day with the kids. Highly recommend ! Can’t wait to go back in the summer!
