Boston Aquarial and Zoological Gardens

Massachusetts, United States · built 1860

The Boston Aquarial and Zoological Gardens (October 1860 – June 1862) in Boston, Massachusetts, featured a public aquarium and zoo. It was located in the Financial District on Central Court (off Washington Street). On display were "hundreds of specimens of the finny tribe there to be seen sporting in their native element, in all their variety of hue and shape" as well as other animals. James Ambrose Cutting and Henry D. Butler ran the business, derived from an earlier incarnation known as the Boston Aquarial Gardens. P.T. Barnum bought it in 1862, renovated it, and reopened it as Barnum's Aquarial Gardens.
