Answer 1

To add to Harry's note, the New York Aquarium at Coney Island is quite good and well worth the visit.  The only drawback is that it's about an hour from midtown Manhattan, but on the other hand there are several subway lines that will get you there easily and cheaply.  Plus, after visiting the Aquarium you can walk on the boardwalk and look over the ocean, and then visit Nathan's for a hot dog and fries--that alone is worth the trip.

Answer 2

The Coney Island Aquarium is open from 10-7 on weekends. The cost is $13 adult, $10 children. It is right by the N and Q train, or a short walk from the last stop on the F and D trains.

There are several other things of interest within a few blocks of the Aquarium. If you walk toward stillwell ave, the first thing of note is the famous Cyclone, often cited as the world's best wooden roller coaster. Continuing along you'll get to Nathan's, famous for their hot dogs and fries. A little pricey at $3, in my opinion. Next to that is the Brooklyn Cyclones Stadium, a minor league affiliate of the NY Mets.

I would eschew eating at Nathan's for some of the finest pizza anywhere, three and a half blocks away. When you get to Nathan's, turn right and walk along the train for two blocks. turn left and continue until you see this run down shop that says Totonno's on it. Inside you will find outstanding thin crust pizza. Even if you don't think that uyou would like that style, try it. You may become a convert, or at least tolerant.

Of course, Coney Island also has amusement park rides and games and other attractions. And the beach.

The place isn't what it used to be, but it still has a lot to offer.

Answer 3

Good or bad, there is only one aquarium in NYC.

It's in Coney Island.
