Making connections with sharks, seals, otters, jellies, sea turtles and other amazing animals from Long Island Sound inspire The Maritime Aquarium’s visitors to appreciate and protect the Sound and other marine habitats. Year-round study cruises bring visitors right into the Sound to experience its amazing animals in their own environment. Changing exhibits, special events, two hands-on touch tanks and an IMAX theater with its six-story-tall screen ensure every Aquarium experience is fun and educational, too. Handicap accessible.
