Aquarium Tickets
Book your tickets in advance to ensure entry since weekends and holidays often sell out. Choose tickets for Aquarium admission, a film at Simons Theatre, a whale watch cruise, or a combination.
Simons Theatre
The Simons Theatre screens a collection of 3D nature documentaries and films on the biggest movie screen in New England each day.
Daily Presentations and Feeding Schedule
Visitors are invited to enjoy daily presentations in the Marine Mammal Center, at the top of the Giant Ocean Tank, or at the Harbor Seal Exhibit. Watch our penguin aquarists feed the penguins daily and ask questions about our animals and their habitat. This schedule is subject to change. Please confirm times at the Information Desk upon arrival.
