Take our poll and tell us what you think!

It's just a little over two weeks until the new Greater Cleveland Aquarium opens on the West Bank of the Flats.

And there's a small controversy already.

Management at the Aquarium, built in the First Energy Powerhouse, has decided to not allow strollers and wagons in the Aquarium.

This has caused some upset among parents, who are posting on the Aquarium's Facebook page, and other pages, that the policy is unfair and discriminates against children.

Others have posted that they're glad of the policy, one person saying they're sick of being run into by "SUV sized strollers" without even getting an apology.

Aquarium management has stated that the policy is only in effect for the first few months, at least until the initial rush dies down.
