for real... thats exciteing hopefully they will have cichlids...the national aquarium in dc was small and boring they had one texas cichlid in like a ten gallon hhaha i was like LAME
 
I liked Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Conn too, but go in the off season, you will have more fun.
 
The New England Aquarium in Boston is pretty good. They have a decent variety for the amount of space they have, and there are some really nice new exhibits and improvements planned.

yea their supposed to put in a 25,000 gallon stingray tank this april or something i think.
 
I think Boston is nice, I like the way it is set up. I also think the Mystic Aquarium is nice for its size(but i'm a little bias as I used to work for them).
 
The Aquarium at the Mall of America in Minneapolis/St Paul is pretty decent. A big walk way under the whole shark/ray/saltwater tank, but its a lttle sparse. Amazon area is pretty cool as well. lots o variety!

Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, MN is great for those into native cold water species, but ti can be hit or miss. Sometimes the exhibits are full and amazing and other times their population is down and the fish look rough. Been there a bunch, so I've seen both sides. A good show for those into Lake Superior and northern US species.
 
I think a lot of peoples perceptions on specific aquariums really depends on what they are expecting going in to them. If you have high expectations you may be let down, if you go in with out expectations you probably have a higher likelyhood of enjoying what you see.

They're getting it ready right now, I saw it yesterday and the first rays were already in.
 
Wow I can't believe no one has posted Monterey Bay aquarium in California. It is by far the best all around aquarium.
I have been to one in Denver as well it was quite small but they had a restaraunt where you could sit right next the tanks and watch the fish.
