The New York City Aquarium
FRIDAY, JULY 17TH 2009
AREA MAP

This is the worst aquarium I've ever visited. The New York Aquarium smells like child vomit - not unlike a Chuck E Cheese - and hosts a sparse collection of aquatic animals. The environments are uninteresting and seem to offer very little in the way of animal enrichment. Fridays are free after 3pm, but it is hardly worth the long subway ride, the horrendous "lines" - in quotes because it more like a shoving marathon with parents pushing strollers into strangers' calves with the hopes of plowing through the crowd to get into the aquarium first - the screaming children or the depressing exhibits.
