Jenkinson's Aquarium, Point Pleasant Beach

We absolutely LOVE going here during the winter. We haven’t dared to go during the summer, but in the winter it is so nice and clean and not crowded. The staff is great and there is so much to see. My son is good friends with the seals and penguins. Every time he sees them it’s like he’s catching up with old friends! We got to see them feed the seals at 1 PM. Sometimes you get to touch sea urchins, starfishes, and horseshoe crabs upstairs. As soon as you walk in you can touch the stingrays. You can also see birds, tiny monkeys, snakes, and other creatures. It really is a great family trip and a great activity for when it is cold or raining and you live in the area year-round.

Went here today with my wife and found a fantastic aquarium! From the outside it seems like it's going to be small but once inside it's huge and has a lot of exhibits to learn and be fascinated by! Tickets for adults are around 16 dollars and from our experience today it's totally worth it! I believe this would be a mesmerizing place to take young children as the fish and penguins come right up to the glass giving you that beautiful up close experience! The surrounding board walk is just as captivating for a nice and easy fun in the sun kinda day!
