On Martin Luther King Jr. Day every Greater Cleveland
Aquarium guest who chooses to donate $1more to United Black Fund of Greater
Cleveland Inc. (UBF) receives discounted, same-day $10 admission. UBF is a
grant-making organization providing financial assistance to agencies that both
empower and address challenges facing Greater Cleveland’s African American
community. As part of the day, the Aquarium will highlight African Americans
influential in the fields of marine science and scuba diving throughout its
galleries. “The achievements of these important figures is inspiring,” says
Aquarium GM and Splash Fund Director Tami Brown. “For example, Carl M. Brashear
was the first African American to become a US Navy Master Diver despite having
an amputated leg.” Guests can learn more about Brashear and other leaders by
participating in an MLK Day “Search for Greatness” Scavenger Hunt for a chance
to win an annual family pass.

Both adults and children receive the general admission rate of $10 when donating at least $1 each. Children younger than age 2 are free.
