Belle Isle Aquarium, located on Belle Isle in Detroit, is a charming spot that showcases a variety of aquatic life. Opened in 1904, it’s one of the oldest aquariums in the country and features a range of exhibits, from colorful tropical fish to fascinating local species. The aquarium has a relaxed vibe, making it a great place for families and anyone looking to enjoy some time surrounded by water and wildlife. Visitors often appreciate the beautiful architecture of the building itself, which adds to the overall experience. Plus, it’s free to enter, so it’s an easy stop for anyone exploring the island.

So worth it for a free ticket
