Maritime Aquarium Norwalk : Come See The Sea

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.

Kristin Jacobsen

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.

Lauren Busby

Good place to take your children or grand children. No matter what your age is, you are assured to have a very good time.
