After a lengthy closure that began with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Atlantic City Aquarium is finally set to welcome visitors once again. Following a complete refurbishment both inside and out, the popular attraction will officially reopen on March 24, bringing new life to Gardner’s Basin.
Mayor Marty Small Sr. announced the grand reopening during his recent State of the City Address at the Golden Nugget Casino, expressing enthusiasm for the aquarium’s return. The long-anticipated reopening is expected to draw both locals and tourists eager to explore the newly renovated space.
The Atlantic City Aquarium has long been a favorite low-cost attraction, offering educational exhibits and interactive displays featuring marine life native to the Jersey Shore and beyond.
In addition to interior upgrades, the exterior now features a striking new Atlantic City Aquarium sculpture, adding to the waterfront’s appeal.
