We are no longer living under a rock without internet, but our marbled salamander still does!

We can take credit cards again for admissions and gift shop sales. Drop by for a visit today!

Apologies! Our internet is sleeping as hard as our Gila Monster usually does (although she is awake in this pic!)

That means we are currently only accepting cash for admissions, as well as gift shop purchases. We will let everyone know as soon as we are back online! 📷 Jamie, Aquarist II

Ready your spidey senses for national tarantula appreciation day! 🕸

The Flint RiverQuarium doesn't just have aquatic species! As part of our education animal collection, our Brazilian black tarantula helps connect visitors with these not-so-creepy crawlies, well at least we think so! The perfect ambush hunter, these tarantulas live in underground burrows or crevices ready to strike at unsuspecting prey. They can use their silk to create drag lines around their burrows to detect vibrations or employ venom to paralyze prey as well.

Come by during our scheduled program talks and you might get to meet this eight-legged wonder... - Jamie, Aquarist II & 📷

“Our school of sunfish would like to o-fish-ally wish you a great school year! Just like students, fish gain social development, learning, and improved well-being while schooling in groups of the same species. Schooling together also provides energy efficiency, improved foraging, and greater coordination in moving around for fish. This weekend, celebrate back-to-school by visiting Flint RiverQuarium and saying hi to more of our schooling fish species!” - Bethany, Living Collections Manager.
