Due to the constant spread of Covid, the Greater Cleveland Aquarium is going remote by using Zoom. By doing this, people can see and watch the different types of fish in the aquarium right in their own homes.

The event is primarily a shark exhibit, but it also will explore other related species kept at the aquarium. It focuses on the care and keeping of the fish, their different habitats, and their place in individual food chains for different species which includes sharks, eels, stingrays, and other unique ocean fish. 

Currently, available dates for this event are December 4, December 10, December 11, December 17, December 18, and December 31.  This is an alternating schedule of Thursdays and Fridays for whichever day fits your preference.  All shows begin at 3:30 p.m.

Tickets for these Zoom events cost $18 at a base level and $12 for aquarium pass holders. The event lasts approximately 20-25 minutes and will certainly be an interesting and engaging learning experience for anyone who “zooms” in.  Make sure to come prepared with questions because staff personnel and experts will be answering them throughout the event. 

Tickets can be found on the aquarium’s website. 

Once a ticket is purchased, you will receive an email with a zoom link on the day before your scheduled time.

Do not miss this awesome opportunity to see the different types of creatures in the ocean, right here in Cleveland, Ohio.

Along with this event, the aquarium also offers live views of their aquarium through its website, primarily of the shark exhibits. If you just cannot get enough of the sharks after this event, you can click on the Aquarium’s Website or their YouTube page and spend some more time watching the sharks and learning a bit about how they live and interact on your own. 

The aquarium also offers other activities through the Events page on their website, such as the stingray and coastal fish exhibits.

With everything going on, we hope that you all stay safe and can still find some fun and family time with these aquarium events.
