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.

All my Arachnophobia folks, you might want to look away from this Halloween-themed #CreatureFeature🕷️🕸️ This here is our salmon pink bird-eating tarantula! This tarantula is the third largest species of spider in the world. They can reach up to an 11-inch leg span! Hidden on their abdomen, these arachnids possess a unique defense mechanism: tiny hairs called urticating hairs. The spider can flick these hairs from their body into the air with its hind legs. The hairs fly like arrows and can cause severe irritation when they contact another animal's skin, nose, mouth, or eyes. 🏹 You can find this large tarantula in the Journey to South America habitat!

We are being a little mischievous for our special Halloween edition of #TongueOutTuesday. 🐁 That is actually not the snake's tongue you see, it's a tail! This tree boa is eating his lunch of a mouse. A snake's nutrition usually consists of small mammals like mice, lizards, and birds.

Female: 🎀Jemmi (in honor of Jemmi Creek in Antarctica) 🎀Aurora (Aurora Australis, the southern lights commonly seen in Antarctica) 🎀Gloria (popularized by the movie Happy Feet, set in Antarctica) Males: 💙Bentley (In honor of the Bentley Subglacial Trench, the lowest point in Antarctica, emphasizing a strong geographical connection) 💙Jack (Jack Bursey was an American explorer and sailor who played a notable role in early Antarctic exploration.

We will be contacting each person who suggested the chosen names to receive their TWO free Aquarium passes—a maximum of 2 tickets per individual.
