The New York Aquarium, where the City meets the Sea. As New York City's only aquarium and part of the largest network of metropolitan wildlife parks in the country, the New York Aquarium holds a special place in the mission of the Wildlife Conservation Society: To save wildlife and wild places around the globe.
With exhibits featuring over 8,000 animals, the Aquarium offers diversity, superb viewing, and world-renowned scientific expertise that assures an enjoyable experience. Learn about animals living as far away as the Southwest coast of Africa and the Arctic, to those found locally in the Hudson River. Whether you're getting wrapped up in the tentacles of the jellies in the new "Alien Stingers" exhibit, being awestruck by the walruses in the rocky coastline of Sea Cliffs, or cheering on the California sea lions during their Aquatheater presentations, you're always close to some of the world's most amazing creatures. The Aquarium is a science-based conservation organization that has more expert researchers in the field than any other. Their scientists are studying wildlife in over fifty countries worldwide. By visiting the Aquarium, you are helping to further their science and conservation mission.
