Loveland Living Planet Aquarium has become one of Utah´s most unique and popular attractions, and is definitely a must-see if you are planning a trip to Utah. Exhibits feature sharks, rays, seahorses, sea jellies, octopus, piranha, rescued sea turtles, penguins and more! It is a unique opportunity for the many landlocked Utahans, particularly children, who have not previously had the chance to interact with such creatures.

Join us in honoring the animals who will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

In celebration of Día de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, we've created a special Animal Ofrenda to remember and celebrate beloved animals who have passed away. Día de los Mu***os is a Mexican holiday dedicated to honoring loved ones who are no longer with us. An ofrenda, meaning "offering," is a special altar decorated with photographs, flowers, and meaningful items to celebrate their lives and welcome their spirits.

Alongside the beloved animals we've said goodbye to here at the Aquarium, we invite you to honor the animals who have touched your lives, too. Bring a photo of a beloved pet who has passed away to add to our ofrenda and be part of this special tribute.

You can visit our Animal Ofrenda, located in front of the ship in our lobby, from October 27 to November 2 during regular Aquarium hours. Whether you're adding a photo or simply taking a moment to reflect, we hope you'll join us in remembering and celebrating the animals who will always live on in our hearts.💙

Our new Japanese Garden is o-fishally OPEN!🎏

This new outdoor habitat space is filled with new plant species and a pond full of colorful Koi Fish!

Did you know there are more than 100 varieties of Koi? The term “Gosanke” (goh-SAHN-keh) refers to three of the most well-known varieties: Kohaku, Taisho Sanke, and Showa Sanshoku. You can spot all three, plus many more, swimming right here in our new pond!

To celebrate the opening, we're hosting a special education station this week where you can learn more about these beautiful fish and even make your own origami Koi.

Swim on over to the Aquarium and take a moment pause and connect with nature.

Our Freshwater team has been working on training with our Coconut Crab!🥥🦀

They are teaching him to voluntarily step onto a scale so the team can monitor his weight without needing to handle him. This is an especially exciting milestone because this type of voluntary scale training has not been successfully documented with Coconut Crabs at other facilities.

This accomplishment highlights how training can support the health and well-being of every animal in our care, while also showcasing our animal care team's dedication.
