You can sponsor an animal online or call 617-226-2162 for more information. Sponsorships are available for many Aquarium species, with a special program for North Atlantic right whales. When you sponsor an animal:

  • You receive a certificate of sponsorship, a fact sheet on the animal and other benefits according to gift level.
  • You may be invited to a special Proud Parent Event with the aquarists, go behind the scenes at the Aquarium and more.
