Right on the Boston waterfront, not too far from where the Boston Tea Party took place, is the New England Aquarium. This large building features many of the standard ocean life you'd expect in an aquarium. The highlight are the penguins, which are in a large display in the middle of the building as soon as you walk in. You can just lose track of time standing there watching these little guys, who seem to always be in constant feeding mode.
From there, you can head outside to see sea lions, who are always wandering about their pool area and have their own large crowd on a regular basis. Inside, the building is arranged with a series of ramps going around the building to allow you to see all of the exhibits without missing any since they are arranged linearly. In the center, there is also a gigantic tank filled with all sorts of sea life (our favorite being the giant turtle). The really nice thing about it is you can get a view from the very top and then work your way down in a spiral to see it from many different angles.
This is definitely a great place to spend a few hours and is one of the better aquariums in the country we've been to.
