Have you ever wanted to have a day on a Jersey shore boardwalk but other factors got in the way?<\/p>\n
Maybe the weather is too cool and rainy to walk the boards. On the other hand, perhaps it\u2019s too hot and humid outside to have an enjoyable day. Or sometimes we just don\u2019t feel like dealing with Bennies and the beach traffic.<\/p>\n
What if I told you there\u2019s about to be an exciting boardwalk experience right inside one of the Garden State\u2019s most fabulous aquariums?<\/p>\n
Adventure Aquarium<\/p>\n
Adventure AquariumAdventure Aquarium announces new experience, \u2018The Boardwalk\u2019<\/p>\n
Opening Mar. 28, 2026, Adventure Aquarium in Camden will pay \u201chomage to the shores of New Jersey, Delaware, and beyond\u201d with \u2018The Boardwalk,\u2019 an exhibit intended for guests of all ages to enjoy.<\/p>\n
There will be a wide arrange of seaside-like attractions including an ocean-themed virtual reality experience, face painting, a beachfront mural and photo zone, caricature artists, and educational meet-and-greets with the animals.<\/p>\n
The Boardwalk will also feature the Aquarium\u2019s fourth touch exhibit, \u201cHorseshoe Crab Harbor,\u201d where guests can have a gentle, personal interaction with the prehistoric species.<\/p>\n
Fun fact: don\u2019t let the name fool you, Horseshoe Crabs are chelicerates, which means they\u2019re more closely related to arachnids like spiders or scorpions. They\u2019re not even crustaceans https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Horseshoe_crab<\/a><\/p>\n See? We\u2019re learning already and the exhibit isn\u2019t even open yet!<\/p>\n To make it feel like you\u2019re at the shore, only indoors, there will be boardwalk plank and sand-inspired flooring, lifeguards style seating for staff, and depictions of kites flying.<\/p>\n Photo by Mick Kirchman<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>Adventure Aquarium is located at 1 Riverside Drive in Camden, NJ.<\/p>\n You can find more info about The Boardwalk on the Aquarium\u2019s website: https:\/\/www.adventureaquarium.com.<\/a><\/p>\n Don\u2019t worry, they\u2019re not going so far as to have seagulls come down to steal your food.<\/p>\n WOW: 19 Exotic-Looking Animals Surprisingly Found in America<\/p>\n While some are native and others arrived by accident, there are animals living quite happily in the U.S. that will make you say, \u201cNo way!\u201d From seriously big cats to the pinkest bird you\u2019ve ever seen, here are some of the most exotic creatures calling America home.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Stephen Lenz<\/a><\/p>\n Why do giraffes have long necks?
