GREAT LAKES AQUARIUM

Support Aquarium Animals, Win Big Experiences

At Great Lakes Aquarium, caring for animals is at the heart of what we do. With more than 1,100 animals in our care, our primary mission is to provide healthy and enriching care while educating visitors on their vital roles in our ecosystem.

From jellyfish to ducks to skunks to sharks and sturgeon, the needs of these animals are vast and varied. And often costly. 

For example, the annual cost to feed, provide enrichment and keep safe and healthy water levels for the ?? is ???. 

As prices for energy and food continue to rise, we are fundraising specifically to support the care needs of our animals. Your GiveMN donations will help us provide excellent care.

This year, every $50 to $99 gift gets you entered in a drawing to win a fish feeding experience. Your experience will include three feedings at different exhibits. We will draw three winners from that group. 

A $100 to $499 donation gets you entered in a drawing to win one of two Supreme Behind the Scenes Experiences*; feeding and wading with the sturgeon in the touchpool -- or snorkeling and feeding the trout and other lake fish in Isle Royale (certified divers can choose to upgrade this to a dive and feed experience).  We will draw one of each of these prizes for two total winners.

A $500 or greater donation gets you the opportunity to choose one of those supreme experiences as your gift.  Opportunities are limited and we will offer only three guaranteed spots for each. Once they are gone, they are gone. We will turn this option on at 12:01am on November 20.

We are endlessly grateful for your support in the future of Great Lakes Aquarium during Give to the Max Day.  Thank you! 

*Supreme experiences are for two guests total (including winner), ages 12 or older. Some experiences require use of behind-the-scenes stairs and are not fully accessible.
