The Belle Isle Aquarium closed in March 2005 due to the City of Detroit budget deficit. You are invited to view some of the Aquarium's former inhabitants at this site.Enjoy.
Sadly, nature and animals always get the last consideration ! How much materialism does it take? We pump million$ into casinos and shopping malls and we lose the important and necessary need to be a part of nature.
it's a crying shame that any goverment would allow something of this importance to just go away because of funding. talking about a resaon to leave this city.
im only 13 and i really wanted to see this place. thanx kwame!!!!!
