    This is a great little aquarium! There are a lot of species to view. The tanks are nicely designed…read moreand well maintained. We did happen to be there when a summer camp came through. It was a bit chaotic but there were times that we had the place to ourselves! We really enjoyed the tunnel with the sharks and stingrays. The touch tanks are also cool and there's a restroom nearby to wash your hands There's also good food in the area and a nice walk short along the river.

    We love the aquarium! We've been members a number of times (and are again currently) since moving…read moreto Cleveland 9 years ago. The aquarium makes for a great adventure any time, any season, but it is especially great for days that are hot or cold, and if it's rainy or snowing. You can explore the aquarium as a safe, fun outing when you want to get out of the house and the weather isn't cooperating. My husband and I enjoyed visiting over the years, and when we had our baby last year, we knew it would be a great place for her to visit as well! She's now a year old and she gets excited when we take her out of the car and she realizes where she is. While this is not a massive aquarium, it's truly lovely. I grew up in the northeast and went to the Boston Aquarium countless times, I've been to the Mystic Aquarium, and the Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto as well. Is this one comparable at all in scale and size? No. But it isn't trying to be, either. They talk about sustainability, and what they've done with what is available to them in rehabbing the old industrial building is honestly incredible. Can you zoom through the aquarium in 30 minutes? Probably. But why? Take your time and really appreciate being up close and personal with so many different fish species-we especially enjoy the lion fish and snowflake eel tubes (especially trying to find where the eels are poking and peeking out of, my baby always giggles when she sees them at eye level). While there are some smaller exhibits, check them out and really take in what you're seeing. Watch how the animals interact, look at how their scales change in varying light, check out how they interact with YOU as well. You might just be surprised! Also, while there is quite a bit of reading material spread throughout, it's in easy to read and comprehend blocks. We really enjoy the different zones of the aquarium, and one of our family favorites is the entire shark zone area. Sitting in one of the chairs by the tank and just watching the sharks go by or some of the tropical fish or stingrays zoom by is so relaxing! My baby always relaxes and is so soothed in this area. The aquarium hosts different events throughout the year, and we've enjoyed visiting during the Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day events. I like how they'll have fun trivia and decorate to suit the event. My baby enjoyed the divers during Christmas and how they waved and blew bubbles towards her! They also have activity sheets in both English and Spanish, which is great for bilingual families, and for those that may be encouraging and/or teaching either language to their little ones (when my baby is old enough, I'll be using the Spanish one to help her learn new vocab!) The entire aquarium is very clean (including the bathrooms), there is a changing table in the women's room, and the staff is very pleasant and kind to interact with. I also want to point out that while we often come here as a family, I also bring my baby on my own and have always felt very safe being there with just the two of us.
