Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (LLPA) in Draper, Utah, is home to more than 4,000 animals from around the world. Conveniently located off Interstate 15 at exit 291 and just minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, this world-class Aquarium features a 300,000-gallon shark exhibit with a 40-foot tunnel that guests can walk through and enjoy an underwater view of seven different species of sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and more.

The Aquarium has reopened as of May 9, 2020. We are excited and ready to welcome you back! Operations will be a little different than before, so please review the following policies before visiting. The safety of our guests, employees, and animals is our highest priority.
