Overview
Experience NYC and New Jersey like never before with SEA LIFE Aquarium's interactive exhibits, which are entirely themed to New York and New Jersey’s most memorable and iconic moments.
3,000 creatures from over 150 species call SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey home. You’ll get to enjoy close-up encounters with some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures and learn about their habitats as you explore the various exhibits.
SEA LIFE Aquarium New Jersey highlights
City Under the Sea
Walk through the 15 ft deep underwater tunnel. Landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge have been "fishified" to fit the underwater theme. Experience panoramic views of Manhattan as you walk through the tunnel and spot the 20 species that live amongst the skyline.
An (Urban) Jungle Oasis
Inspired by the streets of New York, this urban jungle is home to some of the rainforest's most interesting creatures, including the Red Bellied Piranha.
Landing at JF Ray Airport
The airport has never been so fun. Spot stingrays and discover why SEA LIFE considers them the pilots of the ocean.
Explore the Shores
See and touch more than eight species, including baby epaulet sharks, giant pink sea stars, anemones, and prawns. You'll learn from a SEA LIFE Expert why these amazing creatures are the athletes of the shores in this exhibit inspired by local sports.

Nice Aquarium inside Dream America Shopping Mall
Aali Sh ·It is a nice aquarium but is quite small still worth it!
Muy bonito
María José ·Vimos peces muy bonitos y además la atención del personal fue muy amable nos permitieron conocer lugares y también nos enseñaron mucho.
Süßes kleines Aquarium
Saskia ·Das Sea life ist wirklich schön gemacht und greift das New York Motto perfekt auf. Leider ist das Aquarium recht klein. Wenn man sowieso an der American Dream Mall vorbei kommt sollte man auf jeden Fall reinschauen. Extra hinfahren für das Sea life lohnt sich nicht.
