  • 5 Reasons to see the Shark exhibit in Coney Island

    The Shark Exhibit at the New York Aquarium is a big hit!

    Having grown up in Rockaway by the beach I was always interested in sharks.  The movie Jaws kept me up at night.  I just took my nephew to the Coney Island Aquarium shark exhibit and found out the following;

    1. It’s half price all summer: At $15 for adults and $12 for kids, this represents great value for a fantastic time had by all.  I’m told the prices will go up in the fall.
    2. There are 115 species: Including sea lions, otters and a variety of colorful and interesting fish, sea turtles, and rays. Many people don’t know there are 26 shark species living in the New York area.
    3. The $146 million upgrade: The shark exhibit is complete with a 40-foot tunnel and multiple tanks with stunning visuals.
    4. Interesting tunnels and interactive exhibits: I’m going to leave a little of this as a surprise.  The exhibits are very educational and kid-friendly.
    5. Fish from around the world: There are local fish and species from as far as the Great Barrier Reef and Fiji.
