The New England Aquarium in Boston accepted an entry ticket—first purchased in 1983—38-year before that allows the holder to return “at anytime in the future.”
According to the international news outlet, a local newspaper reported that 26-year-old Rachel Carle got the ticket from her aunt—which she bought in 1983 to visit the aquarium.
Some feel-good news:

My great aunt kept this ticket in her wallet for ~40 years and gave it to me when I moved to Boston. Today the New England Aquarium honored it as my admission ticket ? Thank you @NEAQ staff for being so sweet and having a laugh with me! pic.twitter.com/GSG4nWDeUg
Catherine, the original buyer of the ticket never got a chance to visit the aquarium again and then days, months and years flew by.
Last year, she handed the ticket to his niece as a memento while she was graduating from Harvard University.
Carle decided to use the 37-year-old ticket just out of curiosity.
“I didn’t think it would work,” Carle, told. “I was not ready for a confrontation about this, but I might have, for Aunt Kit’s sake, I might have pushed.”
Aquarium President and CEO Vikki Spruill told the newspaper the late gate tickets were discontinued about 25 years ago, but that they will see about one a year.
“We honor each valid admission ticket, and this was one,” Spruill said.
"We are very happy that someone has been handling our ticket for 40 years," he said.
Rachel Carl also posted a picture of the ticket in a tweet.
The ticket was in perfect condition, but the Associated Press reports that the corners of the ticket were slightly damaged due to being four decades old.
The New England Aquarium is one of Boston’s most popular attractions and a research institution. It closed temporarily closed twice in 2020 and reopened again to visitors in February.
