Pro Tips on Visiting the Long Island Aquarium

One of the greatest not-so hidden gems on the Island happens to be the Long Island Aquarium of Riverhead. Having opened their doors in 2000 and originally donning the name “Atlantis,” there are a slew of wonderful things to see at this hot spot! Of course, if you’re planning your first trip here or are looking to go back, here are some pro tips to take into consideration:


Go at a Random Time
Sometimes, the early bird doesn’t always catch the worm. Typically, the Long Island Aquarium opens at 10am and closes at 5pm, seven days a week. If you’re attempting to beat the crowds, then it may be wise to go anytime after 12pm. Any hour after lunch is perfect because not only will you be able to take your time walking through the aquarium, but the chances of being able to look at an exhibit without standing behind a crowd will be even greater.

Open Rain or Shine
Say it happens to rain (or snow, because we’re in New York) on the day of your intended visit. You’ll be able to still bask in the excitement of this incredible attraction no matter what (unless they specifically state that they’re closed). However, if you go during the warmer months, you’ll be able to take your time outside by the penguin exhibit, since you won’t have to worry about bundling up!

Bonus: They Host Private Events
If you’ve ever dreamed about having your birthday or a wedding at the aquarium, then we have some good news for you: they host private events! This will not only be the perfect way to have a memorable event, but it’s a great way to change it up from having it at a standard catering hall. If you’re looking for even more fun, then the aquarium can also host corporate events, too (yes, your next company holiday party could be held at this incredible venue)!
