Great Lakes Aquarium

Duluth, United States · built 2000

Great Lakes Aquarium is an aquarium in Duluth, Minnesota. The aquarium opened in 2000 and is located on the waterfront of the Duluth harbor, next to Lake Superior. A 501(c)(3) private nonprofit, Great Lakes Aquarium features animals and habitats found within the Great Lakes basin and other worldwide ecosystems such as the Amazon River or Pacific reefs. The aquarium houses 205 different species of fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. It is one of few aquariums in the United States that focuses predominantly on freshwater exhibits. Many of the main exhibits at 62,000-square-foot (5, 800 m2) Great Lakes Aquarium (GLA) are based upon actual habitats in the Lake Superior basin. "Slices" of the Saint Louis River, Baptism River, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Kakagon Slough, Isle Royale and Otter Cove can all be viewed up close.
