Greater Cleveland Aquarium

Have you ever seen a sea star's tiny tube feet in action? Counted the suckers on an octopus arm? Noticed a blue poison dart frog's heart-shaped toes? Looked up into the toothy grin of a sandtiger shark as you walked through a 175-foot seatube? Experience up-close views of aquatic life from around the globe at Ohio's only the freestanding, independent aquarium. Housed in historic brick powerhouse steps away from the Cuyahoga River, Greater Cleveland Aquarium's seven immersive galleries (Ohio Lakes & Rivers, Asia & Indonesia, Tropical Forest, Industry & Habitat, Coastal Boardwalk, Tropical Reef and Shark) let you travel from freshwater rivers to saltwater oceans without leaving downtown Cleveland.
