AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - A new 35,000-square-foot aquarium has drawn crowds of fascinated children and parents at one of Michigan’s largest shopping malls.

Sea Life Michigan Aquarium opens Thursday at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills.

The aquarium features three blacknose sharks, two bonnethead sharks and one nurse shark among its estimated 5,000 animals. It has a tropical ocean tank with a walk-through underwater tunnel.



Michigan has a number of aquariums, including one on Detroit’s Belle Isle.
