Located on Boston’s beautiful waterfront, the New England Aquarium’s exhibits and resident aquatic creatures provide visitors with a feast for the senses. But, sensory excitement does not end in the exhibition areas. The Aquarium’s 3-D IMAX theatre offers no short supply of thrills for members of the audience. The New England Aquarium’s 3-D IMAX theatre transports the audience to the world of the film, without leaving their seats. Tickets for the IMAX’s features can be purchased at http://www.trustedtours.com/store/imax-at-new-england-aquarium-in-boston.aspx.
Walking into the enormous, dimly lit theatre, patrons sense a buzz of excitement. As the audience grows in number, the feeling of anticipation is palpable on the air; all present know, collectively, that they are about to experience something phenomenal. The screen’s enormous size – it’s 65 ft high by 85 ft wide – looms over the audience – a portal to other, more fantastic, worlds. As the lights go dark and the film begins to cue, the audience goes silent, as its journey commences. Such is the nature of the experience a patron of the New England Aquarium’s 3-D IMAX theatre can expect.
Currently, the Aquarium’s 3-D IMAX is featuring the following films. Sharks 3D, presented by Jean-Michael Cousteau, immerses moviegoers into the world of great whites and hammerheads. It takes them on an exciting journey of feeding frenzies and swimming with the underwater predators. Under the Sea 3D, narrated by Jim Carrey, carries patrons to some of the most exotic undersea locations on earth, where they encounter the mysteries of the deep. Finally, narrator Morgan Freeman introduces audience members to orphaned orangutans and elephants in Born to be Wild 3D. The travails and triumphs of the bold animal-stars will inspire all, both young and old.
Again, tickets can be purchased from Trusted Tours and Attractions at http://www.trustedtours.com/store/imax-at-new-england-aquarium-in-boston.aspx, satisfaction guaranteed.
