Questions on Columbus Zoo's $175M Aquarium
The Columbus Zoo announced plans to build a $175 million standalone aquarium, named the John F. Wolfe Aquarium, set to open in 2029. The 100,000-square-foot facility will feature five main galleries with over 10,000 animals across 300 species, highlighting aquatic environments such as the Amazon River Basin, Scioto River, Pacific Northwest, open ocean, and Indo-Pacific Reef. Funding includes a $50 million donation from the Wolfe Foundation, with construction beginning in early 2027 and a conservation center planned beforehand. The new aquarium will require separate admission tickets and will be situated on a seven-acre site at the zoo's northwest parking lot.
