Adventure Aquarium is one of our favorite places in New Jersey and was just named the No. 1 aquarium on the East Coast and No. 4 in the country, according to readers of USA Today.
This is the fifth consecutive year the aquarium in Camden has been named one of the Top 10 aquariums in the country for USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Adventure Aquarium was one of 20 facilities nominated by a panel of industry experts, including editors from USA Today and 10Best.com, as well as other expert contributors, before being voted on by the public over a four-week period.
Adventure Aquarium has more than 15,000 aquatic animals that swim, walk and crawl in 2 million gallons of water. Visitors can see the animals up close, whether at the touch tank, outside at the African penguin exhibit, across the Shark Tunnel which is the longest shark bridge in the world, and checking out the resident hippos Genny and Buttons.
The aquarium hosts special events like Sensory Sundays, meet-and-greets with mermaids, a visit from the SCUBA Tooth Fairy, a sand sculpture festival, and an underwater Christmas tree. They also hold Candlelight Concerts in front of the shark tank and other special events.
Adventure Aquarium is located at 1 Riverside Dr., Camden.
