Greater Cleveland Aquarium on the Flats West Bank offers an up-close and immersive experience with a walk-through tunnel under the water. Visitors can see many different species, including sharks, stingrays, a giant pacific octopus, and dwarf seahorses. The facility is super clean and nice, with interactive touch tanks and a petting zoo that provide unique, hands-on experiences. While the aquarium is small and can be seen in about 20-30 minutes, it has everything one usually wants. It is open 363 days a year and features a gift shop, parking, and accessible facilities. The staff is friendly, and the animals appear to be well cared for.
Aquarium was smaller than expected yet beyond delivered on expectations. Lots of species I haven't seen in other aquariums, the two touch pools were amazing, and the shark tunnel was so good that I went through it twice. Gift shop also had some neat stuff I'd definitely recommend visiting especially with kids.
