I gathered some of the youngest, brightest minds to design and build Atlantis Marine World…

How to get here? Well it is New York, so getting here is not a problem, with unlimited national and international flights. Flight costs vary greatly, but regular costs from California can start as low as $210RT, $150RT from Chicago and international flights into JFK are not a problem. A quick search shows flights from London to JFK at $650RT. These were just quick searches, I’m sure cheaper flights can be found. Car rental and car services are available at all airports. Drive time from LaGuardia or JFK to Atlantis Marine World is about 1.5 hours Flights into Islip/ McArthur (30 minute drive time to AMW) tend to more limited, but major airlines like Southwest, Jet Blue, Continental fly into Islip.
