Children will enjoy the up-close-and-personal encounter with the freshwater fish – as well as various reptiles, invertebrates and otters – of the Great Lakes region. Hands-on exhibits allow visitors to touch the animals in some cases and to play with models of the canals and locks of the Great Lakes' waterway system.
