Shark Exhibit

Home to four species of sharks, among them being nurse sharks, sand tiger sharks, sandbar sharks and blacknose sharks, and an amazing variety of aquatic life, take your time as you marvel over our incredible and massive shark tank.  Elegance and splendor co-exist in the tank with sand tiger sharks up to 7’ long.  Let our acrylic underwater tunnel fascinate you as you walk through this wonderful subaquatic world.  Our sharks peacefully swim through our delightful school of cow nose rays, among a variety of colorful fish including yellowtail jacks, lookdown fish, amberjacks, rooster hogfish and stingrays.  Look for our playful goliath grouper who enjoys a nice back scratch in the sand, and our nurse sharks that often never separate.  The Greater Cleveland Aquarium shark tank is sure to relax you, impress you, and introduce you to an underwater world full of wonder and excitement.
