A wonder for all ages, SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium is home to more than 5,000 sea creatures. Explore more than 20 displays including interactive touch pools, a walk-through tunnel with 180-degree views, and an ocean exhibit where a blacktip reef shark swims alongside graceful rays.
Begin your underwater journey as you walk through a tunnel with spectacular 180-degree views and marvel at the sea life swimming overhead. It almost feels as if you can touch these elegant creatures; to get any closer you would have to get wet. The aquarium also features stunning jellyfish, sea horses, clownfish, and cownose rays.
Get closer than ever before to a giant Pacific octopus, a master of disguise, playfully swimming around while a clownfish hides in a sea anemone—its home base. With marine experts hosting daily presentations and feedings, stop to watch and learn. For a more hands-on display, take the opportunity to feel a starfish, sea urchin, shark pup or horseshoe crab in the interactive touch pool.
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), located in Midtown Detroit, Michigan, has one of the largest and most significant art collections in the United States. With over 100 galleries, it covers 658,000 square feet (61,100 m2) with a major renovation and expansion project completed in 2007 that added 58,000 square feet (5,400 m2). The DIA collection is regarded as among the top six museums in the United States with an encyclopedic collection which spans the globe from ancient Egyptian and European works to contemporary art. Its art collection is valued in billions of dollars, up to $8.1 billion according to a 2014 appraisal. The DIA campus is located in Midtown Detroit's Cultural Center Historic District, about two miles (3 km) north of the downtown area, across from the Detroit Public Library near Wayne State University.
