DULUTH — It took a few decades, a couple of course corrections, and more than one fishy forecast, but the Great Lakes Aquarium has quietly — and impressively — become the most-visited attraction in Duluth. Not bad for a place that, back in the day, some folks figured would sink before it swam.
“Great Lakes Aquarium didn’t have an easy start. There were many loud critics. But today, thanks to strong leadership and a clear commitment to its mission, it has not only survived — it’s thriving.” -- Duluth Mayor Roger Reinert
