The aquarium had a wide variety, and every stage of growth. Everything is well-displayed, you can really get good views of all the creatures.

This is my favorite aquarium in Connecticut. It's large, beautiful, and had lots of great animals. My son loved the sharks and the touch tank with the huge sting rays and sharks.
