My Review 

Located in Riverhead, Long Island, NY, Atlantis Marine World is one of the best and largest aquariums in the New York Metro area. This huge aquarium features both indoor and outdoor exhibits, plus the Western Hemisphere's largest all-living, closed-system coral reef display. It's a beautiful, colorful exhibit in a 20,000-gallon tank.

I'm About.com's Guide to Long Island, and I wrote a review of Atlantis Marine World and Atlantis Explorer Tour Boat Cruises, which leave from Atlantis Marine World to explore the marine life in the Peconic River.

What Types of Marine Life Did You See? 

Various sharks, starfish, sea lions, crabs, rays, moray eels, piranhas... the list is too long to mention every species that I saw.
