Description
The New York Aquarium remains a must-see destination on Coney Island's celebrated boardwalk. The newest, award-winning exhibit—Ocean Wonders: Sharks!—holds more than 500,000 gallons of water, and contains interactive and immersive exhibits that put you nine inches away from 18 species of sharks and a hundred other marine species. Highlighting the amazing wildlife right off our New York shores, this year-round attraction is dedicated to teaching us all about the world of sharks, the important role they play and the threats they face.
