Please note: From May 26 through the end of June, the Aquarium will be making exciting updates to our lobby. Construction should not affect your visit. For guests with sensory needs, KultureCity Bags will now be available at the box office. Thank you for your understanding!
Events and Programs
Our events and programs promote discovery and instill a sense of wonder for ocean animals and habitats. By coming together to share information and ideas, we can make a vital and vibrant ocean possible.
Partners in Conservation
Learn how working collaboratively within fishing communities is reshaping shark conservation in Brazil with marine scientist and conservation leader Ingrid Hyrycena, Founder & CEO of Projeto Tubarão. This Lecture Series event is presented through the generosity of the Lowell Institute. This event is free, but advance registration is required.
Women of the Tides: Stories of Labor, Sea, and Survival
Join journalist Heidi Shin and artist Anita Yip at the New England Aquarium for an evening that brings together sound, photography, storytelling, and an immersive collective audio experience. The evening will also feature first-hand stories about diving with the haenyeo, a Q&A, and a shared art-making experience.
Marine Mammal Behind the Scenes Tour
Join our trainers for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience with our California sea lions and Atlantic harbor seals! See where the animals' food is prepared, learn how and why enrichment toys are created, and enjoy up-close views of some of their favorite behind-the-scenes spaces. Please note that, while you may see the animals, this is not an interactive animal encounter.
