Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium twenty-month-old baby Pacific walrus Akituusaq shows his love to keeper Paul Moylett for Valentine’s Day. The winter months are the best time to visit the Aquarium when the walruses enjoy the cold weather. There’s lots to do with daily public feedings of walruses, penguins, sharks, sea otters and seals. The Aquarium is open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Something new and exciting is always happening at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn.
A Wildlife Conservation Society park, the New York Aquarium, opens every day of the year at 10am, and closing times vary seasonally. Admission is $13.00 for adults, $9.00 for children ages 3-12 and $10.00 for senior citizens (65 and older); children under 3 years of age are admitted free. Fridays after 3pm, admission is by suggested donation. The Aquarium is located on Surf Avenue at West 8th Street in Coney Island. For directions, information on public events and programs, and other Aquarium information, call 718-265-FISH or visit our web site at http://www.nyaquarium.com. Now is the perfect time to visit and show support for the New York Aquarium, Brooklyn’s most heavily attended attraction and a beloved part of the City of New York.
