The New England Aquarium is located in Boston constructed on Central Wharf above Boston Harbor. Built in 1969 the Aquarium was one of the country's first such major institutions and remains one of the only research and educational aquariums in the country. Located in the central open atrium of the main building, the principal feature of the Aquarium is the Giant Ocean Tank, a cylindrical 200,000 gallon tank simulating a Caribbean coral reef. This tank houses sharks, turtles and many smaller reef-living fish. Open at the top, the tank is surrounded by a walkway that spirals down from the top level allowing visitors access to 52 different windows offering views of the reef from every angle and level. Many other exhibits and aquatic species call the aquarium home.
