When it comes to aquariums in Connecticut, Mystic Aquarium tends to get a lot of the press. But we’ve got another great aquarium in the Nutmeg State that is an absolute blast for visitors of all ages! SeaQuest Connecticut has tons of great fish, mammals, and reptiles to observe in natural-like habitats. If you want to really make the most of your visit, there are additional animal encounter tickets you can add on to your experience. These will allow you to pet a porcupine or even swim with stingrays. How fun does that sound?

Even if you don’t have the budget for the optional animal encounters, there’s plenty to do here for the entire family. This place is 20,000 square feet, so there’s lots of room for exploration!

Not only are there plenty of sea creatures here, you can also see a few land-based animals as well, including sloths and birds. The aquarium houses 300 different species.
