I have gone a few times and I have been to aquariums all over the country. It's not the biggest or least expensive but it is beautiful and it is ours.
Ever since 1985 I hoped an aquarium would return to Cleveland. Groups would try for years to bring it back and nothing would ever happen. I hope greater Clevelanders don't force our aquarium out by lack of support. If it brings in money it will be improved, if not it will wither and die.
On my most recent trip I saw some neat new animals such as the jellyfish in the ceiling (for the grand opening there were spiny lobsters running around above). I also saw the most amazing thing I've ever seen sitting in a tank in the kids play area upstairs. I had only seen a dead one once before (coincidentally during a talk about bringing back the aquarium in 1992 at Baldwin Wallace). It was a football sized deep sea isopod (relative of our backyard roly-polies) I had heard and read about for years. My kids haven't been young for a long time so I was glad we accidentally walked through there.
