Visit our Gift Shop

Our Gift Shop is open every day (and available online!) with a vast array of gift ideas for all ages. Hop on in to check out the plush seals perfect for a winter cuddling. Here are some other ideas:

 

Give the gift of membership

How about a present that just keeps giving? A gift membership means that your friend or family member can visit as much as they want for an entire year! That means countless hours tickling the wings of stingrays in the touch tank, or watching the frisky young sea lions grow up. They’ll learn something new every visit, but you don’t have to tell them it’s educational!

 

 

A gift membership provides:

 

 

Surprise someone with a unique animal interaction

There's nothing like a little face time with the seals to delight the animal lover in your life! Learn them about harbor seals and fur seals the same way trainers do: by interacting with them up-close, through our Interactive Seal programs. Your lucky recipient may be able to give some training signals, touch a seal or even get a seal kiss!

Try one or both of these popular programs:

 

 

 

 

Donate in the name of a loved one

For the person who has everything, make an online donation to the Aquarium in their honor. You can also make a tribute gift in memory of an ocean-lover. For more information, please contact Jennifer Pires at 617-226-2134 or jpires@neaq.org.

 

 

 

 

Make someone a Proud Parent animal sponsor

Consider giving a living and breathing connection to the sea through our animal sponsorship programs. These gift opportunities provide truly unique ways to help protect the marine world. A Proud Parent animal sponsorship not only offers a fun sponsor package, including a fact sheet about your chosen animal, a photo certificate, a window cling and other exclusive privileges (depending on sponsorship level). The ocean protector in your life will cherish knowing their gift sponsorship helps feed and care for the animal of your choice.

 

The tax-deductible donation can help us support one of our:

  • African penguins
  • Little blue penguins
  • Rockhopper penguins
  • Green sea turtles
  • Kemp’s ridley sea turtles
  • Harbor seals
  • Fur seals

 

Think big! Give a North Atlantic right whale sponsorship

Help protect one of the most critically endangered large whales on Earth through our North Atlantic Right Whale Sponsorship Program. There are only around 400 of these magnificent animals alive today, and our Right Whale Research Program is working to help save them. Your sponsorship, which allows you to pick a specific whale to sponsor, will directly support the yearly costs of research to protect these species.

Lucky recipients of Right Whale Sponsorship packages not only get to help save these creatures. They also receive a certificate of sponsorship, a composite drawing and sighting map of their whale, information about right whales, a one-year subscription to Right Whale Research News, the biannual newsletter, and more benefits based on sponsorship level.
