Visits to the New England Aquarium and Franklin Park Zoo

Visits to the New England Aquarium and Franklin Park Zoo

My paper focused on the roles that institutions like the aquarium and zoo play in a city like Boston. Both institutions offer people a unique experience to see and sometimes interact with animals that are usually only seen on television or films since they come from all around the world. Some of the questions that I’ve tried to answer are how do people explore these sites? What are the things people do and don’t do? Who goes to these sites? Do they promote social cohesion among its community members or is social mixing confined to the group one comes in?
