     History
    At the time of its closure in 2004, the Belle Isle Aquarium was America’s oldest, having been in near-continuous operation for 101 years. The Albert Kahn-designed aquarium opened to the public in 1904 along with the nearby Anna Scripps Whitcomb conservatory. It consisted of a long, green tile corridor with 60 fresh and saltwater exhibits holding nearly 1,500 fish.

    The Belle Island Conservancy reopened the acquarium in 2012.
