Since opening its doors in 2000, the Long Island Aquarium has dazzled visitors with its massive 120,000-gallon shark tank, one of the largest all-living coral reef displays in the Western Hemisphere, and an engaging variety of interactive exhibits, per its website.
It’s more than exhibits—it’s the hands-on opportunities that captivate guests of all ages, including penguin encounters and a shark dive, according to its website.
One Readers' Choice voter simply called it a "beautiful place."
The 2024 Daily Voice Readers' Choice contest to name the Best of the Best on Long Island began with reader nominations in October and ended with a voting period for finalists in 80+ categories in December.
Congratulations to Long Island Aquarium!
You'll find the aquarium at 431 East Main St. in Riverhead. Visit longislandaquarium.com to learn more.
