In 2014, the Toledo Zoo won the coveted title as USA Today’s #1 zoo in the nation— and it is about to get even better with the grand re-opening of the aquarium on Friday, March 27. In 2012, the zoo began a massive renovation to the interior of the aquarium, while preserving the building’s 75-year-old facade. Previously home to primarily freshwater exhibits, the updated interior will house three times as many oceanic species, with a combined water capacity of 210,000 gallons.
10am-4pm, daily through April. $17/adults, $14/children under 12 & seniors, free/under 2 years, (Lucas County residents receive $2 off with proof of residency). Toledo Zoo, 2 Hippo Way. 419-385-4040. toledozoo.org
