Mystic Aquarium

Mystic Aquarium is Connecticut's best aquarium. It features beluga whales, a Stingray Touch Pool, a Sharks Touch Habitat, a Marsh Trek, and an Animal Rescue Center. Do you want to pet a starfish? You can do all of this and more at the Discover Long Island Sound exhibit. There are so many fun extras available here that you'll want to extend your visit. Guests can book a Penguin Encounter, where they can get nose to beak with one of the world's most fascinating birds, for an additional fee.

Alternatively, select a private training session with a sea lion, a feeding and painting session with stingrays, or a one-on-one session with a harbor seal. The California Sea Lion Show at the on-site Foxwoods Marine Center is not to be missed. You're in for a real treat with costume changes, original music, and an intriguing family-friendly plot. Interacting with computer-generated animations in the Wild Arctic exhibits is another fun attraction. You can virtually interact with a polar bear and meet a walrus here. The Jurassic Giants indoor dinosaur trail features giant animatronic dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Stegosaurus, and other prehistoric creatures, as well as two 4D theaters.
