Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Update
The Aquarium of Niagara will is currently closed to the public in response to the COVID-19 virus. All programs and events are cancelled.
The Aquarium is committed to the safety of all involved while providing exemplary care to our animal collection. While the Aquarium will be closed to the public, staff who are essential to the care and livelihood of our animals will continue to provide the exemplary standard of care that earned the Aquarium of Niagara accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Stuck at Home?
The Aquarium wants you to have some science-related fun while we’re social distancing!
Every day we’ll (virtually) take you behind-the-scenes and show you what goes into taking care of more than 120 species of aquatic life, and pair the videos with a learning activity.
Can You Help?
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Aquarium of Niagara relies on ticket sales, programs, events and donations to operate. As you can imagine, our COVID-19 mandated closure will have a significant impact on our overall operating budget. Please consider a donation to assist us in the care of our animals and team members.
