Spend this summer morning on the grounds of Belle Isle. You will have 2 and ½ hours to experience at your leisure the aquarium, conservatory, and gardens. The Belle Isle Aquarium was designed by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn, and opened on August 18, 1904. It is the oldest aquarium in the country and has served the Detroit community as a beloved attraction for generations. The Anna Scripts Whitcomb Conservatory is the oldest continually-running in the US and home to an exotic and rare collection of plants from around the world. Take a “splendor” stroll through the Ouldolf Gardens. It has been said, a public garden designed by Piet Oudolf, arguable the world’s best garden designer, is a gift to the community that will keep on giving for generations. A $5 donation to the aquarium, conservatory, and gardens is encouraged.
