(Excerpt)
The beloved New York Aquarium in Coney Island, devastated during Hurricane Sandy, has set a date to reopen — and its famous sea lions will be out for the big day in May.
The aquarium will partially reopen on Saturday, May 25 at 10 a.m., said Jon Dohlin, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society New York Aquarium.
The reopening will come seven months after Sandy’s unforgiving storm surge inundated the 14-acre facility, trashing buildings and exhibits and damaging the aquatic life.
