I have a long-standing shouting match with one of your penguins.

It is incredibly impactful for my family personally (and so many children that to come to Boston for medical care) to keep highlighting the work of helping injured or ill animals. I think it's such a healthy way to see that they are normal/this is a part of life.

For Halloween, my 3-year-old was a New England Aquarium worker, and his 6-month-old sister was Carolina the sea turtle. Coming to the Aquarium has sparked countless hours of imaginative play in our home!

We joined 30+ years ago to support animal rescue efforts and teach our children about the importance of keeping our oceans and wildlife safe.

Being a volunteer for many years was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Every day I volunteered was an opportunity to learn new things and to share my love of our world under the water with so many people.

The Aquarium has always been a haven. I'll often drop by at lunch for a quick walk around the tank and exhibits.

My son is autistic and loves fish tanks. We love bringing him there to look at the sea life and we love how inclusive it is there for him.

We brought Sy Montgomery's new turtle book to the Aquarium for some photo ops with the turtles.

I gifted a membership to my sister's family last Christmas. They really enjoyed having a fun, educational family experience.

I saved a Spotify playlist to listen to simultaneously with my partner while wandering around, which was absolutely magical.

In college I was studying pre-law, but had always wanted to be an oceanographer. My mom would say, "Be a lawyer and have a really nice fish tank." I was on my way to take the LSAT and instead went to the Aquarium and filled out an application to volunteer. The trajectory of my life was forever changed.

Visiting the Aquarium is something my teenage daughter still happily does with me.

I don’t need yoga or mindfulness classes, just the Aquarium.
