Review:
The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk encourages visitors to protect the waters and creatures of Long Island Sound and to care for global ecosystems. With several opportunities for hands-on exploration of sea animals, visitors here get a rare up-close look at the creatures of Long Island Sound. Touch pools feature sharks, rays, jellyfish, sea stars, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, and whelks.
Popular exhibits include the harbor seal's unique indoor/outdoor habitat, and the giant pool housing two adorable river otters. The aquarium replicates a salt marsh and a river woodland environment and displays the animals who dwell in them. Other popular displays contain meerkats, frogs, and toads, and a delightful tankful of baby sharks.
