Introducing Member of the Week! First winners!

There are a lot perks that come with membership at the New England Aquarium, like express admission all year and discounts at the Cafe and Gift Shop. Now you can add our new Member of the Week contest to that list, too. How can members participate? Just show up and visit the Aquarium! We'll be randomly selecting members for this special honor throughout the fall.

Meet Avril and her daughter Apple, our very first members of the week! They visited this week with friends Roberto and Stephen. Avril and Apple of Cambridge became members this year so they can see the little blue penguins as often as they wish. Avril grew up in Buffalo and remembers visiting the Aquarium as a girl! For being our Members of the week, Avril and Apple received a copy of the Aquarium's commemorative guidebook and each child took home a stuffed toy seal.

Avril and Apple are the first of many. Who knows, your family could be next! You could win on any day of the week, any time of day. We'll be announcing winners right here on the News Blog every Friday. So come on down and visit Myrtle in her new home in the penguin exhibit, check in with those boisterous sea lions, search for seadragons, see the little blue penguins in their temporary exhibit and experience the Aquarium's exciting transformation first hand. Who knows, you could be our next Member of the Week!
