DETROIT (WWJ) -- The Belle Isle Aquarium is re-opening its doors today after being closed for more than a year due to the pandemic.
Visitors will be greeted with more than $1 million worth of upgrades that include new species, habitats, and facility improvements.
"'Momentum' is truly the best term for what is happening in this historic building!" officials said in a statement. "A work-in-progress, the aquarium continues to grow and flourish as new exhibits and fish are added, tanks are restored, and history is preserved for generations to come."
The beloved Detroit landmark will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
First opening its doors in August of 1904, the Belle Isle Aquarium is the oldest in the country, and features more than 50 tanks filled with aquatic species from all over the world.
