About Greater Cleveland Aquarium

The Greater Cleveland Aquarium sits in a historic powerhouse on the Nautica Waterfront District, offering a 70,000-square-foot planet of aquatic life and immersive exhibits. Located on the first floor of the FirstEnergy Powerhouse, the venue is a convenient stop for families, travelers, and locals looking for a memorable day in downtown Cleveland. Hours typically run 10am–5pm daily, with select dates extending to 8pm for special events like That’s A-Moray. We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby stay and dine options to help you plan a seamless visit.

When you’re ready to visit, secure your seats for immersive exhibits such as Fin Fest (sharks & stingrays) and other signature events. The aquarium is part of a larger complex that includes adjacent event spaces within Windows On The River, making it easy to pair your aquarium visit with other experiences. For transportation, the venue is accessible via Cleveland RTA with waterfront and downtown connections. If you’re driving, park in the large Propark Mobility lot directly in front of the Powerhouse for convenient access (ticketed entry, typically the best available price). Nearby hotels like Hilton Cleveland Downtown, Westin Cleveland Downtown, and Renaissance Cleveland Hotel provide comfortable stays within walking distance or a short ride. We’ve highlighted likely options, along with dining partners, to help you lock in plans without the hassle.
