Hands-On Areas for Kids
You and your kids are invited to get wet, get dirty and get excited about the world of water at the New England Aquarium.
- Cradle a sea star, pet a horseshoe crab and get to know a sea urchin at the Edge of the Sea touch tank.
- Explore shapes, colors and textures at the Curious George Discovery Corner.
- Sign up to Play with the Seals or be a Trainer for an Afternoon with the trainers at our seal exhibit.
For more ways kids can get up close with Aquarium animals, see our Tours and Programs page.
