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.
