Free movies at the Aquarium!

That's right, FREE! Join us on June 2 when we throw open the doors to the Simons IMAX Theatre for four free showings of our wildly popular movies—The Last Reef 3D and Penguins 3D (which opens May 24). Learn about our blue planet through some of the world's most beautiful and breathtaking animals on the largest movie screen in New England.

What: Free movies at the Aquarium!
Where: Simons IMAX Theatre, New England Aquarium
When: June 2, 2013

• 12:00 p.m. — The Last Reef 3D
• 1:00 p.m. — Penguins 3D
• 2:00 p.m. — The Last Reef 3D
• 3:00 p.m. — Penguins 3D

Set against a backdrop of dramatic snowy peaks and glacial crags, Penguins 3D follows a brave king penguin on the journey of a lifetime. Watch our waddling hero dodge brawling elephant seals and hungry leopard seals in an effort to find his mate amid a colony of  half a million penguins. Together they battle the elements to raise a chick in one of the wildest places on Earth. Watch this breathtaking, endearing and ultimately triumphant quest unfold on the largest screen in New England at the Simons IMAX Theatre.

Ride along with sharks, sea turtles and tropical fish on a cruise through the world's underwater superhighways. From Vancouver Island to Palau, coral reefs pulse with colorful ocean animals of all sizes. The Last Reef 3D is your ticket to see their homes like never before. Experience the diversity, colors and rhythms of breathtaking reefs in vibrant 3D on the largest screen in New England. You’ll discover the natural connection we share with coral habitats and learn how together we can protect our planet's cities beneath the sea.

Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis. Head to the IMAX Theatre when you arrive at the Aquarium to pick up your free movie pass. You'll also find free family-friendly activities on the Aquarium's plaza from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.—including games, hands-on learning about our blue planet and even a photo booth.
