New England Aquarium
In the center of the main building is the Giant Ocean Tank, the Aquarium's most popular attraction. The tank is a 200,000 gallon tank which simulates a Caribbean coral reef and houses sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, eels and many other species of marine life. Some of the other popular exhibits include Penguin Power, Marine Mammals in Motion, Turtles Uncovered, Sharks and Rays, and Killer Instincts. Other activities include live presentations and feedings, the Simons IMAX Theatre, and whale watching expeditions.
