    Love going to different Aquariums, but this is my biggest saddens me due to the fact that I live in this state. The big exibit is a joke. Only thing that is cute are the penguins.

    They are more interested in just taking your money then having a Great Aquarium.

    Everything is way over priced, forget about bringing your car.

    Atlanta has the tank with the whale sharks.

    The NY Aquarium is totally fantastic, downside is parking is tough due to the location. Oh the location is next to Coney Island.

    It's in a nice location that is easy to get to. There are also other attractions around so it was easy to include in our sightseeing plan. We found the staff to be friendly and organized, they knew what they were doing. The penguin exhibit greets you as you walk into the main building. Never seen them so up close and personal, no glass barrier of any kind. The other striking thing exhibit is the large tank in the middle of the aquarium. You can walk around and all kinds of animals living in it. Not many tanks like this. Prepare to spend at least a few hours in the aquarium and maybe dine at the Legal Seafoods across the street. :)
