I've been coming here since I was a kid. It never gets old and is educational in the best interactive way possible. Educates you about our local Long Island Sound environment and sustainable fishing

The Maritime Aquarium is the place to have fun, nose with animals and discover the wonders of Long Island Sound . Programs and exhibits are constantly changing, so there’s always something new to see Read more

A family of 5 costs $80 for admission. If you live in the area just buy the annual family pass for $150. Pays for itself in 2 visits--well worth it--especially great for rainy/ cloudy/ snowy days !

Great place to learn new things and explore. The Norwalk Maritime Aquarium is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy a full day of fun and entertainment. It's for a good cause too! Save our oceans!!!

The aquarium is more centered for children. It looks like they are in the process of adding and updated several exhibits which are welcomed.

Great way to spend the day w kids. Right now there is a ton of construction so we missed out on some cool stuff. I think it's over in Feb. I look forward to taking my son again.

Imagine you and your guests sipping cocktails and dancing in front of thier 110,000-gallon Open Ocean exhibit . Cool way to make an impression!

Matt Debes

if you go for the penguins you may be disappointed, try the seals instead - they're always a good show and they feed them I think 3x a day during visiting hours. chekc out the IMAX movie also

Amanda M

There's a seal feeding at 11:45,1;45, and 3:45 it's a lot of fun. Also the sting Ray pool is awesome in which you can touch them.

Cool seeing a mix of exotic fish as well as local fish and animals from the sound.
