The only freestanding, independent aquarium in Ohio is located in downtown Cleveland, just steps away from the Cuyahoga River. Housed in a former powerhouse, the Aquarium creatively reimagines the historic brick building, with tropical reefs taking the place of former coal chutes and moon jellyfish filling what once was a smokestack.
Travel from freshwater rivers to saltwater oceans in about 90 minutes in immersive, sensory-rich galleries. Many of the Aquarium's more than 50 exhibits offer up-close, 360-degree views and its 230,000-gallon shark gallery even has a walk-through seatube that allows visitors to watch a sand tiger shark glide slowly overhead.
Stingray and invertebrate touch pools, exhibit feedings, animal encounters, and underwater SCUBA diver Q&As make every visit memorable. Guest Experience Associates stationed throughout the Aquarium are available to answer all aquatic animal questions.
The aquarium closes at 5:00 PM and the last tickets are sold at 4:00 PM.
