Denver Downtown Aquarium, formerly known as Colorado's Ocean Journey Aquarium, is now part of Landry's Restaurants. It was opened in 2005 in a redesigned space under the name Downtown Aquarium. The aquarium has over a million gallons of water filled with spectacular underwater exhibits on diverse ecosystems from all over the world.

Downtown Aquarium is home to about 500 species of aquatic and terrestrial animals. A special attraction is the interactive reef stingray touch tank. The aquarium has both freshwater and ocean ecosystems and showcases the link between rivers and ocean. It takes care of many endangered or threatened species, including 12 fish, six reptiles, two mammals, and two birds.
