Atlantic City Aquarium Reopens After Extensive Renovations

The Atlantic City Aquarium has reopened after five years of extensive renovations, featuring new exhibits and updated facilities, including a loggerhead sea turtle and several interactive touch tanks. The renovations were funded by a $3.6 million grant from the New Jersey Green Acres program and include exterior improvements funded by the American Rescue Plan. Admission prices vary, offering free entry for children under two and discounted rates for Atlantic City residents. The reopening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by officials and visitors, emphasizing the aquarium's role as a local attraction. Additionally, a $1.4 million grant will fund a new public restroom, set to open next fall, replacing the old facility adjacent to the aquarium.
