Inside the giant shell form Oceanarium opens a completely different world, really exciting world. The beauty of Baikal and Khanka lakes, the rich biodiversity of Japan and Okhotsk seas can be seen behind the glass.

Labyrinths with expositions stagger the imagination. This transparent tunnel gives you a feeling of walking on the oceanfloor. Exotic inhabitants of the sea depths and colorful tropical fish sail by.

Incredibly beautiful halls occupy three floors. There you can get acquainted with the evolution of ocean life, go into the sea depth and see the coral reef. The total volume of aquariums is about 25 thousand cubic meters of water.  The whole complex is located on 35 thousand square meters, which is several times larger, than the territory of the St. Petersburg Oceanarium. Primorsky region Oceanarium has been built within 11 years.

Besides the inhabitants of the ocean, you can also see the flora and fauna of tropics. Aquariums with Amazonian fish and compositions of exotic plants are also there.
