3. National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium

The Mississippi River is the 2nd longest river in North America at 2,320 miles long. The river’s source is Lake Itasca which is located in Minnesota, and it ends at the Mississippi River delta in the Gulf of Mexico. It has long been an integral part of the states that it flows through, and the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium gives us a look into the river’s past.

Here you will find displays that highlight just how important the river has been for people living here. You will also get the opportunity to get close to some of the river’s wild inhabitants, including otters, alligators, and sturgeon.
