A Visit to the Belle Isle Aquarium

Join the Detroit Public Library on location! In July 2022, the library visited the Belle Isle Aquarium and received a special behind the scenes tour from our guide Taylor, of the Belle Isle Conservancy. We learned about the different marine life living at the aquarium as well as the waters surrounding Belle Isle. This virtual tour corresponds with our Summer Reading theme--"Oceans of Possibilities." The Belle Isle Aquarium opened on August 18, 1904—and is the oldest public aquarium in the United States! To learn more, be sure to visit the aquarium on Belle Isle.
