New York Aquarium

The animals are lucky to have you all! I can't wait to run another #wcs 5K there!

Dani

Just wanted to say what a fantastic job the staff of the NY Aquarium did in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and its contued efforts to keep the animals healthy. I grew up less than a mile from there and my parents would take me there on my birthday each year. I did this well into my thirties, and when they passed away, I took my family. To the staff and their families and healthy and happy holiday season!

Hey guys, I took my girlfriend here for her birthday right before the storm hit, and it sucks to see it devastated like that. Hope you guys rebuild better than before and I'm looking forward to paying another visit once you reopen!

Keep up the FIN-TASTIC work guys! My daughter and I will be back home to visit once you guys are up and running (err, swimming) again!

Erin

Thank You all so much for your hard work and dedication. Your efforts have been truly amazing.

Rebecca

I heard a lot of stories about what the staff went through and I am completely awed by how amazing they were in the face of panic and danger. The aquarium, its animals and staff are such an icon for Brooklyn and to think that it could have faced such devastation breaks my heart. The animals are so blessed to have such a dedicated team. Thank you for selflessly putting their welfare before your own.

Navina

Your steadfast devotion to caring for and taking care of these beautiful creatures is beyond words. If they could thank-you I'm sure they would, for now, I'm just going to send a huge HUG to all of you for all you have done and all you continue to do for those in your care. ♥ Hang in there!

Holly

Anna

I have such wonderful memories of going to the Coney Island Aquarium (as we referred to it) from my own childhood (in the 1960s) & that of my 3 children (in the late 1980s & 90s) - when we would come in from Maine to visit. Thank you (from the animals who can't speak for themselves) & from visitors - past, present & future - for working so hard to get the aquarium back in good working order, after Sandy.

Amy

We miss the New York Aquarium and hope for a speedy return. Thank you to the staff and volunteers for your efforts.
