BOSTON, MASS. (January 26, 2021) – The New England Aquarium is delighted to once again welcome guests of all ages to Central Wharf and will reopen to the public on February 5, 2021. We pride ourselves on offering a safe, enjoyable, and virtually touch-free experience. We will continue to follow public health guidelines from the City of Boston and the Commonwealth, such as strictly enforcing mask wearing and physical distancing, and limit ticket sales so that we stay well under the maximum allowed capacity.
