A great cross between an aquarium and a science museum that details the unique animals and ecosystems of the upper Midwest, particularly Lake Superior. The highlight is definitely the sturgeon pool, where guests can PET these living fossils (which are actually quite friendly with distinctive personalities!). Live feedings of the nurse shark, electric eel, and otters are other high points, along with the large scale lock and dam model for younger kids.
