About Aquatorium

Visitors can enjoy stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes while exploring the rich history of aviation, including a statue and replica glider honoring Gustave, the Wright Brothers' mentor. The site is well-maintained and offers a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying a day at the beach. Many appreciate the historical significance of nearby Marquette Park, including its marker as the southernmost point of Lake Michigan, and the legacy of Octave Chanute's glider experiments.

My fraternity had an event here. Even though it rained, the inside of the venue was very nice and cozy. Provided a great space for us to have a good time. I will be back.
