Boston - Local Activities To Do
New England Aquarium
|
The New England Aquarium is home to the 200,000-gallon tank known as the Caribbean Coral Reef Exhibit. The reef accommodates not only sharks, sea turtles, barracuda and moray, but also hundreds of smaller exotic tropical fish, and it is one of the most detailed and scientifically accurate presentations of its kind. Visit the Simons Imax Theater where you can see animals and habitats that are too large, too small or too endangered to exhibit in an Aquarium setting.

USS Constitution
|
The USS Constitution, aka "Old Ironsides," was built to defend the young American nation. The ship is nearly as old as the historic document for which President Washington named her. Both the document and the ship have proven to be resilient symbols of America's strength, courage, and liberty. The Constitution is on duty as "America's Ship," representing our proud naval heritage and all those who have fought so gallantly to preserve America's freedom.
