Tanks line the walls, many filled with fish and other creatures of the sea, some used as exhibition displays for local artists and companies. [a great idea] Other tanks hold key pieces of Belle Isle history, including the blueprint for the aquarium and some sketches and history of the Frederick Meiijer-designed sculptures that are found throughout the Detroit Metro area, including Belle Isle.
The Belle Isle Aquarium is open on Saturdays, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
