About us
Loveland Living Planet Aquarium is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides the community with countless educational opportunities to understand and respect our precious Earth and its living ecosystems, from the Utah deserts and mountains, to rain forest habitats, to the planet’s vast oceans. Loveland Living Planet Aquarium has become one of Utah´s most unique and popular attractions, and is definitely a must-see if you are planning a trip to Utah. Exhibits feature sharks, rays, seahorses and jellyfish as well as octopus, eels, piranha, a rescued Green sea turtle and Gentoo penguins! It is a unique opportunity for the many landlocked Utahans, particularly children, who have not previously had the chance to interact with such creatures.

It's #FloralFriday! Let's learn about a plant with all the spices: This is the Calycanthus florida or a Carolina allspice bush! It has large rusty red flowers that are fragrant. The large glossy leaves are also very fragrant when crushed. Some people have used the dried bark as a substitute for cinnamon. Enjoy this lovely plant out on the Rio Tinto Kennecott Plaza.🌺

Let's play a game of #WouldYouRather! Would You Rather: Get in the boxing ring with a mantis shrimp🦐🥊 (Their punch is extremely fast and strong enough to break glass) Or Have a staring contest with a Bangaii cardinalfish🐟👀 (Fish don't have eyelids, so you might be there a while)

It's #WorldHoneyBeeDay! Not to be confused with the bumble bee, this special day is just for the honey bees! 🐝 So, what is the difference between a bumble bee and a honey bee? 🌼Bumble bees are bigger and rounder than honey bees 🌼Bumble bees are better pollinators because they forage for pollen rather than nectar 🌼And, just like their name, honey bees make more honey Comment a honey pot to wish the honey bees a happy day! 🍯

Believe it or not, this isn't a video of an underwater worm. 🪱 This is an aquatic caecilian! These creatures aren't worms or even fish. They are actually members of an ancient family of amphibians that are related to frogs and salamanders! 🦎 They live in rivers, marshes, and lakes throughout Colombia and Venezuela. Their nutrition consists of insects and spiders, and these guys are actually almost completely blind other than some light perception. So, they rely heavily on their sense of smell to find prey.
