From there, they began to collect a large number of marine species for their care, study and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also known as\u00a0<strong>Niagara Aquarium<\/strong>, being located on the\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/what-to-do-on-the-american-side-of-niagara-falls\/\">U.S. side of Niagara Falls<\/a>\u00a0right next to Niagara Falls State Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artificial ecosystems implemented in the Aquarium of Niagara were models for other aquariums, as they were the most accurate for marine development. Taking this into consideration, if you visit Niagara Falls you must stop by this impressive aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the&nbsp;<strong>Niagara Aquarium<\/strong>&nbsp;is one of the main attractions to visit when visiting this area between the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to buy tickets for the Niagara Aquarium?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the reality of today\u2019s times, the&nbsp;<strong>Aquarium of Niagara<\/strong>&nbsp;has changed its&nbsp;<strong>policies and behaviors<\/strong>&nbsp;within its facilities. With COVID-19 biosecurity measures have been the main addition to the way amusement parks and\/or aquariums are enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Niagara Aquarium is no exception; although you can visit it by paying your entrance fee,&nbsp;<strong>the best way to enjoy this aquarium is by booking online<\/strong>. This way you will be sure that you and your companions will enjoy everything it has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Niagara Falls is open&nbsp;<strong>Sunday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and on Friday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm<\/strong>, closing only on Thanksgiving and Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enter, adults must pay $19.95, seniors over 60 years $17.95, children between 3 to 12 years $14.95 and finally children under 2 years, free, and may vary depending on the time of year. On the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquariumofniagara.org\/admission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website of the Aquarium of Niagara<\/a>&nbsp;you will find a section called \u2018<strong>Plan Your Visit<\/strong>\u2018 where you will find all the measures and logistics to take into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research and Education at the Niagara Aquarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, this aquarium was founded by scientists and chemical researchers who developed an artificial sea environment. However, their research did not stop there&nbsp;<strong>thanks to the support of the scientific community<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aquarium has been able to gather&nbsp;<strong>more than 1,500 aquatic specimens<\/strong>&nbsp;that are distributed in different adapted ecosystems. And one of the attractions of the Aquarium of Niagara is that it offers educational exhibits where you can even feed the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/niagara-tour.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Aquarium-of-Niagara-Educacion.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niagara-tour.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Aquarium-of-Niagara-Educacion.webp 640w, https:\/\/niagara-tour.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Aquarium-of-Niagara-Educacion-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, the aquarium\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>main mission<\/strong>&nbsp;is to&nbsp;<strong>bring knowledge to the public about the different marine species<\/strong>, their development, behavior and more. They do this through presentations, educational and recreational programs where they promote preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sea Research Foundation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They also seek to encourage people to preserve the seas and promote marine research. In 1977, Kevin Smith created the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stemmentoringprogram.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sea Research Foundation<\/a>&nbsp;whose purpose is to educate about and research marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why the Aquarium of Niagara has always sought to create awareness, understanding and appreciation of the marine world. Considering that this principle must be applied to conserve all wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why the&nbsp;<strong>Aquarium of Niagara<\/strong>&nbsp;has always sought to create awareness,&nbsp;<strong>understanding and appreciation of the marine world<\/strong>.
