The Amazon exhibits hold more than 4,500 gallons of water. Several of the exhibits feature large windows that reach nearly to the floor, providing perfect viewing opportunities for small children.
Animals
Piranhas, anacondas, electric eels and stingrays await your discovery. Look closely to spot the Surinam toad, the colorful poison dart frogs and the jewel-like schools of cardinal tetra fishes.
Habitat
The Amazon rainforest is one of the most diverse habitats in the world. The forests, rivers and lakes are home to uncountable numbers of species, including animals and plants that have yet to be discovered. The New England Aquarium’s Amazon exhibits feature hundreds of live plants and life-like fiberglass replicas of gigantic rainforest trees, vines and termite mounds.
