27. The AQUARIUM (open 9-5 daily), in a structure that is joined to the conservatory by an ell of that building, is the sixth largest in the world. In its glass-fronted wall tanks are 45 species of native North American fresh-water fish.
This aquarium from the guide has gone through many changes over the years. Located at 3 Inselruhe Ave, Detroit, MI 48207 on Belle Isle, "On April 3, 2005, after 101 years, the aquarium was shuttered, joining many of the other Belle Isle attractions that had disappeared, from horse and pony rides to the Belle Isle Zoo. More than 4,000 people turned out for the final day. About a half hour before the doors closed for good, there was a line of more than 250 people snaking out the door and down the block. On Sept. 15, 2012, the beloved landmark reopened to the public. And the public turned out by the thousands for the event. The line stretched out the door and down the sidewalk, and volunteers extended the hours so that everyone in line got a chance to see it. It is currently open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridays through Sundays."-
