The Aquarium of Niagara Falls opened as a privately owned corporation on June 12, 1965. Founded by a small group of chemists and scientists to introduce an artificial seawater, the Aquarium of Niagara Falls quickly became a model for the operation of inland aquaria. Technology was applied for the first time on a large scale in the preparation, handling and management of synthetic seawater. Perhaps as important, the Aquarium was established as an institution for education and recreation. The Niagara Aquarium Foundation, Aquarium of Niagara, is committed to carrying on the institution’s tradition of education, research, and wildlife conservation. The pioneering spirit of its founders and their dedication to increasing the understanding of aquatic life has been a guiding force of the Aquarium’s present operation.
