Progress is moving along quickly at the New York Aquarium’s $156 million “Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit. The exhibit which has been planning on opening sometime next year will be featuring over 45 sharks as well as a 60ft high view of the beach and boardwalk. The project which was delayed because of Hurricane Sandy will hold a tank with more than 500,000 gallons of water for the sea turtles, rays and yes. Sharks!

These pictures give you a glimpse into what the exhibit will eventually look like with it’s rooftop classroom and restaurant as well as the enormous tank featured in the Canyon’s Edge exhibit.
