Jenkinson’s Aquarium is a privately owned facility located on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Opening in June of 1991, Jenkinson’s Aquarium has proven to be a valuable educational and recreational resource, as evidenced by its growing popularity. The aquarium is dedicated to educating the public on all aspects of marine life and conservation. Each exhibit is designed to promote awarenes

s of the animals, their habitats and conservation. Exhibits such as Atlantic sharks, Pacific sharks, coral reefs, penguins, and seals give you the opportunity to get up close to animals from around the globe. Another attraction, the touch tank, allows visitors to touch live animals ranging from a sea star to a sting ray! In addition to the educational exhibits, the aquarium offers workshops for children of all ages, as well as professional development workshops for teachers and group tours for schools and scout groups. Groups are provided a general tour of the building and can choose between a number of Focus Programs that will highlight a chosen topic. If your group is unable to make it to the aquarium, we can come to you through our Outreach Program. If you are looking for somewhere special to have your child’s birthday party, the aquarium is just the place. We offer a Perky the Penguin Birthday Party for children turning four years or older. The aquarium is also available for evening functions such as wedding receptions, corporate parties or business meetings. For those who wish to volunteer their time, Jenkinson’s Aquarium has an extensive volunteer program for those over the age of sixteen. The aquarium staff, including volunteers, participate in many community programs including Adopt-a-Highway and NJ Community Water Watch. Either in the community or at the aquarium, our staff will greet you in a courteous and professional manner. The staff is on hand to answer any of your questions while visiting, making it an enjoyable and educational experience. On your way out, you can take the fun home with you after browsing through our aquarium Gift Shop which has an extensive selection of marine related products. Jenkinson's Aquarium is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). AZA is America’s leading accrediting organization for zoos and aquariums, and accredits only those institutions that have achieved rigorous, professional standards for animal welfare and management, veterinary care, wildlife conservation and research, education, safety, staffing, and more. The aquarium is open all year for your convenience, closing only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

🎂 Birthday Alert 🎂

Join us as we wish our Captain Jack a happy 10th birthday! When he was a chick, his spots on his belly made it look like he was wearing a pirate sash, hence why he is named after Captain Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Captain Jack can be a very affection boy. He enjoys the company of the staff members, who spoil him with attention.

Happy birthday Jack Jack! 🎂

Sometimes we get the strangest visitors 😂

Our ball python, Houdini, took a trip to visit some of our animals. Fergie, our common marmoset, was unsure of this visit. We think it's fair to say they will not be pen pals 😂

🚨 Birthday Alert 🚨

Join us as we celebrate our Lilo's 7th birthday! Lilo is extremely sweet and calm, but can a bit of a troublemaker. She loves puffing her chin up when excited and will follow her favorite keepers around like a little shadow.

Lilo has a brother, also known as a clutch mate, named Stitch. Lilo has a unique black dot above her left eye that looks like a birth mark.

Happy birthday little Lilo! 🎂

African penguins have recently been up listed as critically endangered with less than 10,000 breeding pairs left in the wild. They face many threats- one of the biggest being overfishing.

🎂 Birthday Alert! 🎂

Join us in wish our Stitch a happy 7th birthday! Stitch is secretly a hopeless romantic. He can be a little picky with his favorite keepers, but when it comes to his partner, he will collect every piece of enrichment possible to build the biggest nest. When Stitch was a few days old, he had a wound that needed to be “stitched” up, which is where his name came from.

Happy birthday to this crazy dude! 🎂🐧
