How long does it take to visit Greater Cleveland Aquarium? It depends—did you take time to…
→ Feed the stingrays?
→ Meet an ambassador animal?
→ High‑five a diver?
→ Watch a habitat feed?
→ Identify invertebrates?
→ Learn a little bit about the ...Powerhouse?
→ Explore aquatic adaptations?
Some visits are quick. Others linger a while. There’s no right amount of time—just plenty of ways to make it your own. #cleaquarium #thingstodoincleveland #aquarium

The Northern green frog’s call sounds like a pluck on a banjo string. 🪕 Listen closely and you might hear it before you spot it.

Spring Discovery Days are hopping away soon (through April 12), but our appreciation for the little guys never ends. ...#natureiscurious #cleaquarium #springdiscoverydays

You came for the sharks and left with . . .
→ a diver high five
→ a stingray glide‑by
→ a cleaner shrimp tickle
→ an ambassador animal “hello"
→ a peek below the surface
→ the perfect plushie
→ and a new appreciation for just how close ...“up‑close” can be at Greater Cleveland Aquarium.

Add a splash of wonder to any day with an aquatic adventure you can enjoy together! #aquarium #cleaquarium #thelandforlife

Aquarist Kendall feeds three invertebrate touchpool regulars—peppermint, scarlet and red shrimp—and gives us a closer look at these little animals with big appetites. See if you can spot them on your next visit. (FYI, we're open 10am - 5pm, including Easter!)

We had a terrific morning sharing Spring Discovery Days (through April 12) and putting the spotlight on smaller species with Elizabeth VanMetre of News 5 Cleveland! #cleaquarium #natureiscurious #takeacloserlook

Meet the Picasso triggerfish 🎨🐟
Those bold colors aren’t just for show. Each fish has a unique pattern, kind of like a fingerprint. Even cooler? Their eyes can move independently, helping them keep an eye out for both predators and prey at the same time. #natureiscurious #cleaquarium ...#springdiscoverydays
