Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration

This summer, travelers are looking for savings – and the greater Mystic area is the place to go. The Mystic Pass Card, a unique promotion launched in 2008 by Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium in partnership with more than 40 Mystic area businesses, provides discounts and added value during the summer vacation season and beyond.

This spring, changes to Mystic Aquarium’s main exhibit floor create new worlds of experience. New exhibits allow guests to have close encounters with sharks, see jellies from around the world, learn about marine animal senses and get an up-close look at moray eels and barracuda.

SoundMusic, the bold new venture that last summer brought two critically-acclaimed symphonic concerts and one very popular big band production to Harkness Memorial State Park, will present three performances this summer at one of southeastern Connecticut’s most cherished locations, Mystic Aquarium.

MYSTIC, Conn. - Sea Research Foundation announced today that it has made preparations to deploy animal care resources to the Gulf Coast region, including veterinary staff, animal stranding personnel and a coordinated volunteer effort.
