Adventure Aquarium
Aquarium · Camden, New Jersey
A large aquarium on the Camden waterfront, opened in 1992 as the New Jersey State Aquarium and rebuilt and rebranded in 2005 into something considerably more commercial. IT HOLDS THE LARGEST SHARK COLLECTION ON THE EAST COAST and its signature is SHARK BRIDGE — a V-shaped rope bridge you walk suspended directly over the shark tank, which is not a viewing window but a genuinely unnerving crossing. IT IS ALSO ONE OF ONLY TWO AQUARIUMS IN THE UNITED STATES WITH NILE HIPPOS. It faces Philadelphia across the Delaware and the ferry from Penn's Landing lands beside it.

Paid waterfront parking, which fills on event days at the adjacent concert venue. The RiverLink Ferry from Philadelphia lands beside the door and runs seasonally.
