Walk Along the New England Aquarium’s Spiral Ramp
Spending an afternoon walking along the impressive spiral ramp in the New England Aquarium is a great way to bond with your family. The cylindrical tank that dominates the center of the aquarium is popular with children and adults alike. Home to almost six hundred sea creatures including the ever popular sand tiger sharks and green sea turtles, the tank is meant to recreate a Caribbean coral reef. Rising four stories high the tank offers a unique view of ocean life. At the very top visitors can look down into the tank, getting the view of the coral reef most people are used to.Check out this link here. But a trip down the ramp will offer a glimpse at marine life usually only seen by scuba divers and marine biologist.
The giant ocean tank is such a central part of the aquarium that it was actually the first part build, the rest of the building was designed around the tank and ramp. Off to the side of the ramp are other exhibits featuring many other types of aquatic life. The penguin exhibit is also extremely popular. Visitors should also be sure to dip their hands in New England’s largest shark and ray touch tank.
