Octopus chats, Shark feedings, Sea Lion encounters.

And that's the first hour at the New York Aquarium located on the boardwalk near Coney Island, Brooklyn.

The aquarium features over 300 marine species and is a great way to spend a day, especially if you like to see kids go wide-eyed.

Walk the boardwalk and listen to the rumbling sounds of Coney Island roller coasters in the distance.

A perfect way to spend a lazy summer afternoon.
