The Adventure Aquarium, originally known as the New Jersey State Aquarium, is a for-profit educational entertainment facility run by Herschend Family Entertainment in Camden, New Jersey on the Delaware River Camden Waterfront. It was first inaugurated in 1992 and reopened on May 25, 2005, in its current configuration, showcasing around 8,000 creatures in a variety of semi-aquatic, freshwater, and marine settings. The facility has a public floor area of 200,000 square feet and a total tank volume of nearly 2 million US gallons (7,600,000 L) (19,000 m2).


Visitors to the aquarium have the chance to go "behind the scenes" and interact with some creatures, such as sea turtles and African penguins, in addition to viewing animals in their natural habitats. There is also the option of an underwater encounter with sharks and stingrays. Whether you're a teacher or a parent, include Adventure Aquarium in your lesson plans by including the fresh activity pages to complete at the Aquarium each week! The Northeast's largest shark collection, the only aquarium in the world to display hippos, and one of only six US locations with Little Blue penguins are just a few of the fascinating species that call Adventure Aquarium home. The Shark Bridge and Shark Tunnel offer two distinct vantage points from which to explore the Shark Realm.
