About

The Atlantic City Aquarium reopened in 2025 after a multi-year renovation with new tanks and exhibits focused on local sea life. It is compact, so a visit takes about an hour, which suits short attention spans. It sits in Historic Gardner's Basin on the bay side with waterfront restaurants nearby. Open daily year round; children 2 and under are free.
