You’ll feel like you’re walking on the bottom of the ocean when you visit the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center in Riverhead, NY!
The Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center is a unique and expansive aquarium unlike any other you will ever visit. Amazing, interactive experiences found nowhere else are offered on a daily basis. These include such opportunities as a Behind-the-Scenes Tour, Interactive Salt Marsh, a Submarine Simulator, and hundreds of exhibits.
The Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center is, as the name implies, two great family attractions in one!
First is the full-scale aquarium, themed around the “Lost City of Atlantis” and blending natural science with fanciful legend for an entertaining and educational experience for all ages.
The Long Island Aquarium features, among other things, one of the biggest, live coral reef displays in the western hemisphere. There’s also a 120,000-gallon shark tank that, if you’re feeling gutsy, you can enter … in a shark-proof cage, of course!
