Packing a Picnic for the Fishes? Your Guide to Food at the Boston Aquarium
So you're planning a fin-tastic day at the Boston Aquarium! You've got your comfy shoes, your sense of wonder, and maybe even a waterproof phone case (because otters, amiright?). But what about food? Can you bring your own fishy crackers to share with the, well, actual fish?
Hold your horses (or should we say, seahorses?) While the aquarium itself might be a feast for the eyes, outside food isn't exactly on the menu for the exhibits. Here's the scoop on bringing your own lunch to the Boston Aquarium:
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Bringing Your Own Bites: Absolutely! Pack a picnic basket full of deliciousness, but be prepared to enjoy it outside the aquarium itself. There are plenty of charming picnic tables with a harbor view where you can refuel and refish (get it?)
But Wait, There's More! Feeling peckish while you're ogling at the octopus? No worries! The aquarium has a fantastic cafe, the Harbor View Caf�, serving up tasty treats and beverages. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite or a refreshing drink.
Pro Tip: Pack a reusable water bottle and fill it up at the aquarium's stations. Staying hydrated is important, and it's good for the environment – plus, you won't be tempted to smuggle in any juice boxes for the penguins (they probably wouldn't appreciate it anyway).
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
