New York Aquarium at Coney Island (Brooklyn, NY)
by admin on Aug.07, 2009, under * Aquariums & Habitats
Due to a downed SQL server back at work my wife and I’s vacation (and more to the point – our trip to Boston & the NH Seacoast) was interrupted. Instead we made a trip to the New York Aquarium @ Coney Island in Brooklyn. Not as impressive as the original trip would have been but an inevitable profile to be added to aquariablog. Pics & video on the way.
Enjoy!
While not on the level of some of the other public aquariums to be profiled here this is nice to have local. The kids and their often inept parents like in many other public access facilities…were MURDER. However there are some very nice exhibits here and at $14 for Adults ($25 parking includes 1 adult admission) it’s well worth it.
