Aracaju Oceanarium

Aracaju Oceanarium is a water facility in Sergipe state that houses five freshwater aquariums and eleven saltwater tanks. The displays feature fish from the São Francisco River and the local coastal area.

The facility began as part of the TAMAR Project, a national program protecting sea turtles along Brazilian coasts. The center later expanded its work to include care for other marine animals.

The oceanarium works as an educational space where visitors learn about marine life through direct observation of different aquatic species. People come here to connect with the creatures living in local waters.

You can watch shark feeding sessions at 4:30 PM with qualified staff on hand during these events. It helps to arrive early to get good viewing positions for the demonstrations.

Inside the center there is a rehabilitation program that provides medical care to injured marine animals. These creatures return to the wild once they have recovered from their injuries.
