How to participate

1.) Stop into Great Lakes Aquarium anytime starting Tuesday, March 17th to vote for which animal you think will advance! Winners will be determined by the amount of donations accumulated by each animal, each week. Drop a donation in the donation box located in the lobby, right outside Explorer’s Cove Gift Store, to support your chosen animal athlete!
