Center in the Square, a seven-story regional non-profit cultural center in downtown Roanoke, VA, is a vital support system for ten cultural and educational organizations. This remarkable facility is not only a cultural hub but also home to an extraordinary collection of aquariums. The 8,000-gallon Living Reef Aquarium, the largest of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic, houses over 400 colorful marine fish and 150 species of soft and stony corals. Additionally, visitors can marvel at two 300-gallon cylindrical jellyfish tanks, a Turtles of Virginia tank featuring three native species, and a 400-gallon rotating exhibit tank currently showcasing "Predators of the Amazon."
The Center also boasts a multi-level green roof, offering breathtaking views of downtown Roanoke and the surrounding mountains, making it a popular venue for entertainment events.
Within this iconic building, you'll find four major non-profit organizations: the Harrison Museum of African American Culture, Don & Barbara Smith Children's Museum - Kids Square, the History Museum of Western Virginia, and the Science Museum of Western Virginia. Other attractions include the Roanoke Pinball Museum and Mill Mountain Theatre.
