I don't remember alligators but I remember they had all these weird looking reptiles like two headed snakes and lizards and what not. That was also probably 20 years ago on a school field trips.

Yup had gators, and also HUGE turtles in with them too. Same area as the two headed snake, just had to turn around to see the gators they were in a sunken pit area.
They had the big circular pool at the top, was featured in one of the old James Bond flicks as a meeting place They even had a shark in their at one time, but even that constant swimming it managed to bump the hell out of it's nose and ended up dying.

The old Steinhart was one of the coolest places in the world IMHO. I remember going there in the 60s as a little kid.
I absolutely loved the Seahorse railing around the circular alligator pool! I hope they reinstall that railing on the new facility.
Sounds like the new one is going to be SOTA. Does anyone know if the new giant reef tank is going to be tropical (afterall there are temperate/cold reefs too)?

From what I understand the giant reef tank is going to be strictly Indo-Pacific in origin.
