what about manhattan? there is new world aquarium which is also good for just looking around. http://www.newworldaquarium.com/
204 E. 38th ST.
(Between 2nd and 3rd)
You can go to grand central station (shuttle, 6, 4, 5, 7, metro north), head east and south a few blocks. Grand Central is like 4th ave and 42nd st. Or you could just get off at times sq and walk east, its not a bad walk and if you're new to the area its interesting to see.

I'm also from Canada but living in brooklyn =) Personally I dont go to any places in queens because they are so inaccessible by public transportation. Most of the good fish places in NY are in queens, upstate and long island; sadly you sort of need a car.
