Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. announced that the aquarium will reopen on March 24 during his State of the City Address at the Golden Nugget Casino.

The aquarium was set to open multiple times, but has been delayed due to cost of service and goods to fix the building, which opened in 1999.

Located at Gardiner’s Basin, 800 N New Hampshire Avenue in Atlantic City, the aquarium is set to be open seven days a week, year-round. Admission is priced at $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $6 for children ages 4-12. Kids under three can enter for free, making it a family-friendly destination.

With the reopening of this local attraction, residents and tourists alike can once again enjoy everything the aquarium has to offer. Be sure to mark your calendars for March 24, when the doors officially open.
