Belle Isle Aquarium Reopening, Detroit- Go visit, and say hello

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Too bad I missed this. I would have loved to have gone down there yesterday. I am really hoping the aquarium is able to open to the public again one day.
 
Yes I secound. Would have went if I knew about it. Too bad Detriot has been ripped off so long by crooked politicians which caused the city to go broke. Hope the Belle Isle aquarium can reopen for good soon. It is the oldest in the world.

I also wish it re opens. I always enjoyed visiting.

It actually is not the oldest aquarium in the world.........Nor even in the USA.

The first public Aquarium is generally accepted to be the Fish house in the London Zoo opened in May 1853. Belle Island Aquarium opened in 1904.

The oldest American aquarium is the National Aquarium in Washington, D.C., founded in 1873. This was followed by the opening of other public aquariums: San Francisco (Woodward's Garden, 1873–1890), Woods Hole (Science Aquarium, 1885), New York (Battery Park, 1896–1941), La Jolla (Scripps, 1903), Detroit (Belle Isle, 1904–2005), Philadelphia (Fairmount Water Works, 1911–1962), San Francisco (Steinhart Aquarium, 1923), Chicago (Shedd Aquarium, 1929).

Like I said I really hope it reopens as I really enjoy visiting public aquariums in any area I visit.
 
would of loved to have went but didnt find out about until to late last night but i do hope it reopens as i never got to go in there :irked:
