Mystic Aquarium
The Mystic Aquarium is a marine aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. It is one of only two American facilities holding Steller sea lions, and it has the only beluga whales in New England. Special exhibits include a ray and shark touch pool, an African penguin exhibit, a jelly gallery, and the “Jurassic Giants” dinosaur exhibit. The aquarium is a member of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums (AMMPA) and is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). It is a subsidiary of the Sea Research Foundation. Mystic Aquarium was first opened on October 6, 1973, as a privately owned corporation. Industrialist and philanthropist Kelvin Smith was the primary shareholder; he chose Mystic, Connecticut as the site because of the area’s scenic shoreline and rich maritime history. In 1999, the aquarium and Ballard’s Institute for Exploration combined to form a $52 million expansion. The expansion features the Arctic Coast, a 1-acre (4,000 m2) outdoor beluga whale display containing 760,000-US-gallon (2,900,000 l) of water.
