You Can Swim With Stingrays At Adventure Aquarium In New Jersey

If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime experience, head to New Jersey’s Adventure Aquarium. It’s a unique place for a variety of reasons including being home to the largest collection of sharks on the East Coast, being the only aquarium in the world to exhibit hippos, and being one of only six aquariums in the US to have Little Blue penguins as permanent residents. They’re also home to the largest shark bridge in the world, the only Great Hammerhead Shark on display in the U.S., and a 40-foot shark tunnel that traverses and underwater world.

Located on the waterfront in Camden, Adventure Aquarium is home to more than 15,000 aquatic species in over 2,000,000 gallons of water.

It's a blast to visit! Visitors of all ages will enjoy getting up close and personal with some pretty spectacular sea creatures.

To enhance your experience, you can add on a special animal encounter. Have a pop-in with adorable penguins...

Or check out their one-of-a-kind shark and ray in-water encounter.

You'll look a shark in the eye, with no barrier in between. You'll wear a wetsuit and snorkel within inches of sandbar and sand tiger sharks.

Then, you'll get in the water with stingrays! Swim with and feed these friendly, playful, often misunderstood creatures.

If all of this isn't enough reason to visit, they've got baby penguins! These little cuties were welcomed into the world back in January.

You’ll also want to check out unique events at the aquarium including Shark in the Dark nights, Christmas Underwater, Mermaid visits, and Hippo Conservation Weekend (coming up February 15-17).
