Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Nestled just to the north of popular destination town Mystic, this contemporary aquarium boasts fantastic, interactive event rooms and a dedicated staff who are passionate about helping couples create their perfect celebration.
- Stylish exhibit galleries are transformed into stellar event spaces, with flexible floor plans to meet a variety of needs. Some of our favorites include the Sharks & Rays habitat and the indoor/outdoor Beluga Whale exhibit—the largest of its kind in the world.
- Your rental fee helps support the aquarium’s conservation and research efforts, sustainable seas projects, and their outstanding community outreach programs. Your event is also an opportunity to introduce your guests to these amazing animals—cool experiences like a sea lion show, penguin experience, and shark tank may be added to your event!
