It will remain open for the entire duration of the project.

Get Involved

Anyone who has ever visited the New England Aquarium knows Myrtle, our 560-pound green sea turtle. Now, it’s time to make Myrtle’s house better than ever. Your tax-deductible donation will help us completely revitalize the Giant Ocean Tank—not only for Myrtle but for the hundreds of other marine animals who share her home and the millions of people who will visit in the coming years. Creating the new Aquarium experience is a big project, but with your help we can make it happen.

We’ll keep sharing details and progress updates throughout the project. Stay tuned by signing up for our monthly e-newsletter, Seabits, and be sure to connect with the Aquarium on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Tumblr.
