Why You Should Go...
Located in the Flats West Bank near downtown Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Aquarium is just steps away from the Cuyahoga River. Distressed brick walls, exposed ductwork and reimagined coal chutes juxtapose Northeast Ohio’s industrial past with the Aquarium’s conservations focus.
Immersive galleries transport curious guests to local waterways and faraway oceans. Many habitats are freestanding and offer 180- to 360-degree views perfect for little ones. Highlights include two touchpools and an underwater, walkthrough seatube.
See scuba divers, feedings and close-up animal encounters throughout the day. In addition, the Aquarium offers live and interactive Educator-led online programming if you can’t visit.
If your family would enjoy seeing a sea star’s tiny tube feet in action, watching a garden eel retreat into its burrow, counting the suckers on the arm of an octopus or examining the toothy grin of a sandtiger shark gliding overhead, take a closer look at Greater Cleveland Aquarium.
Nature. It’s a curious thing.
