Not really a tourist trap and a hidden treasure in the heart of Cleveland. I really enjoyed my visit here, I was able to bring a couple friends and although it was smaller then other aquariums I've been to around the country, it was more hands-on and up close and personal. The large aquarium tunnel allowed for multiple pictures with many different species of fish to be in the background. (bring your camera). My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed it and next time I'm i the area I will probably go through again. The staff was great and very helpful and knowledgable with every question asked. The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise to purchase. Would definitely recommend going here!
