Classic film Jaws returns to the giant screen at New England Aquarium for Shark Week

Coming off the film’s 50th anniversary year, the New England Aquarium will be screening the classic film Jaws on Saturday, August 1 to close out Shark Week (July 26-August 1). The film tells the story of a massive great white shark that terrorizes a summer resort town where a police chief, a grizzled fisherman, and an intrepid marine biologist battle the bloodthirsty animal. Experience the fully restored classic film on the Simons Theatre’s giant screen, nearly five stories high with wrap-around digital surround sound. Tickets are $10 each.

Themed concessions will be available for purchase, including specialty cocktails and snacks. Visitors can also pair a film with a visit to the Aquarium, grab dinner and drinks at Dockside Beer Garden on Central Wharf, and create a special evening with friends and family.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. The movie will start at 7 p.m.
