The place I always bring my guests to, whether they are from out of state or from across the oceans, is The New England Aquarium. They have so many fascinating things to see, its got a great, central location on the harbor and I love that this Boston institution is recognized around the world for its impressive efforts to protect the world of water that we all rely upon for our survival.

Pros: Always Lots to see, great, convenient loc, unique experience

Went to the Aquarium recently with my wife on a trip to Boston. We enjoyed the experience, despite the fact that the place was immensely crowded. There's much to see, so I would recommend that you go a bit on the "off-hours". Otherwise, you're pretty much breathing everyone else's exhaled breath for the duration. I'd still return! You should check around for deals, i.e. combo-packs for the harbour cruise, aquarium and trolley, as it ends up being a bit cheaper.

Pros: Exhibits

Cons: Crowded

4 Star Rating: Recommended
