Camden, NJ Exit 3: Two million gallons of fun can be had at the Adventure Aquarium where families have the opportunity to explore, discover and play.
You just gotta see those hippos. Though Button and Genny jump and float (can’t swim) and seem so playful under water, they are the most dangerous animal to man, and have no natural predators.
Be awed by the 40’ suspended shark tunnel that offers 360 degree views with 2 dozen of them, the only great hammerhead shark on exhibit (in US), and 850 other living things swimming around you.
Head to KidZone, where there is a playground under the sea and prepare to roll up your sleeves and become part of the aquarium experience as you get hands on with more than a dozen warm-water invertebrates.
If that isn’t enough, you can touch a shark or a ray . There are daily dive shows or hippo, shark and penguin feedings (they eat 20% of their body weight a day).
Double and single strollers available to rent and wheelchairs available at no charge.
