Our Animals

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

Our Animals / The sharks, seals, river otters, sea turtles and other animals, carefully tended in re-created natural settings, serve as ambassadors both for their species and the Sound’s natural environment. These intimate encounters are the heart of the learning experience and provide visitors – children especially – with a basis for understanding their role in the web of life. / by The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

IMAX® Movie Theater

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

IMAX® Movie Theater / IMAX film is the world’s largest format; each frame of film is nearly 10 times larger than film shown in local movie houses. With its enormous size, IMAX film captures the slightest details with stunning clarity. That's accompanied by an amazing 12,000-watt, laser-aligned, digital surround-sound system that lets you hear the slightest splash or the faintest puff of air, while also rocking the house during thunderous space-shuttle launches and whale breaches.

Includes Past and Future Showings. / by The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk
