NYC is full of great museums and exhibits, but don’t leave the city without a visit to the NY Aquarium in Brooklyn. We at Empire Rent a Car know that animal lovers young and old will enjoy a day spent at the aquarium. Here’s a bit about what you can expect at this Brooklyn attraction.

Animals

You can get up close to many exotic water creatures at the NY Aquarium. See a sand tiger shark or the much-loved California sea lion or the sea otter. From small fish to large rays, you can find so much to look at and explore!

Experiences

If the weather permits, be sure to check out a show at the outdoor amphitheater. You can also enjoy watching the sea otter, penguin, or walrus feedings! The NY Aquarium also has regular shows at its 4-D Theater, which can be a fun multi-sensory experience for all ages. While you’re at the aquarium, you may also want to check out what’s happening in Brooklyn and the Coney Island area.
