New England Aquarium

A waterfront aquarium built around a four-story Giant Ocean Tank teeming with sharks, sea turtles and reef fish, plus a popular penguin colony. Go for a fun, weather-proof couple of hours, especially with kids, and consider its seasonal whale-watch cruises. Practical note: entry is by timed ticket, so reserve a slot online; hours run later on summer Fridays.
