New England Aquarium

I saw that there is a big aquarium here in Boston and I haven't been to one in a while so I checked this one out. It's pretty big and they got about everything I could think of. The layout is nice, there's a central round tank that is 5 stories tall with a ramp all the way up so you can go from the top to the bottom right against the glass, then there's regular floors with a bunch of different exhibits. 

These seals were actually on the outside of the building. For some reason they like to swim upsidedown. 






This is just a tidal environment with small fish and corals. 



Stingray exhibit where you could touch them



Multiple jellyfish tanks with quite a few different types. There are lights in the bottom of the tanks so the jellyfish light up and you can see all their parts. 











Penguins












A few different coral reefs
















They have a whole whale skeleton hanging from the roof



Freshwater tanks





Sea Dragons, a cousin of Se Horses



Small sea horses



A couple of Amazon tanks


With an Andaconda



Piranha



Electric Eel


I forget the name of these little guys but they're a bird that's always seen on the shoreline



Flounder from the same exhibit as the birds 


The thing that is above the red rock is a fish


Octopuss


Just some random smaller tanks










This is that large round tanks. I went from the top to the bottom and they have about everything in there including sharks and sea turtles. I think there is supposed to be an eel in there but I couldn't find it. 



























The last exhibit outside had sea lions
