Familiar characters from the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game are coming to the New England Aquarium this fall as part of a partnership with Nintendo of America called the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Aquarium Tour. From September 21 to December 14, 2024, Aquarium visitors will have the opportunity to explore the wonders of aquatic life with an Animal Crossing: New Horizons twist. This activation will give fans a chance to learn more about the real-world animals that reside in the Aquarium alongside the characters players may encounter in the game. “Marine life that some players have only seen in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game have counterparts at the New England Aquarium,” said Suzanne Liola Matus, VP of Marketing, Sales, and Visitor Experience at the New England Aquarium. “The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Aquarium Tour is a fun experience that utilizes the information from the game to highlight the diversity of marine life.
