If the weather is nice, head outdoors to the Sea Lion Coliseum for an entertaining show from these clever creatures. Visit Otter falls and be delighted by these cheerful and playful animals.

Located on Coney Island this New York aquarium has a lot more than fish.

Enjoy the touch pool where you can hold a sea star or pet a horseshoe crab. If the weather is nice, head outdoors to the sea cliffs where you can see playful otters, lazy walruses and energetic seals and penguins splash, swim and play in their mini habitat. Of course, don't forget the sharks! See these predators of the oceans up close and personal when you visit the huge tank that is home to reef sharks, sand tiger sharks and nurse sharks.

This aquarium in NY is open days a year! For aquarists that currently lack the space or ability to incorporate a large algae filter in their existing or new setup, this upright, sealed unit offers an excellent alternative. Because of the fast growing nature of chaetomorpha algae, we recommend placing it in the upper half if placing other algae in the same unit.
