Aquarium of Veracruz, Public aquarium in Veracruz, Mexico.

The Aquarium of Veracruz is a public facility in Veracruz, Mexico, with large tanks that recreate different marine habitats. Nine separate exhibition areas feature fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and other ocean animals from local waters and beyond.

Talks with the Veracruz state government about an aquarium for regional marine fauna began in the late 1980s, and construction started in November 1990 on the Playón de Hornos, chosen for its proximity to the tourist zone and a seawater supply. Engineer Luis Kasuga Osaka led the project and Hiroshi Kamio designed it; the 3,500-square-metre building opened on 13 November 1992, with Baltasar Pazos de la Torre as first board president.

The name changed from Acuario de Veracruz to Aquarium de Veracruz at its May 2022 reopening. The Los Tuxtlas gallery keeps keel-billed toucans and blue-and-yellow macaws free-flying among visitors, and the freshwater gallery holds blind cave fish in a tank shaped like a San Luis Potosí cavern. Manatees are fed lettuce and can be watched from below and above water.

The aquarium occupies the Playón de Hornos, close to the city's tourist zone and chosen partly for its shelter from northern winds. The complex is divided into nine exhibit areas, so allow several hours to walk through them all. The 2024 renovation added LED screens with species information and a new facade shaped like a great white shark's mouth.

The jellyfish tanks opened in 2005 as the first jellyfish exhibit in Latin America. Seven species from the coasts of Veracruz and the Gulf of Mexico are shown, among them the moon jellyfish, the cannonball jellyfish and the upside-down jellyfish. Their tanks have rounded shapes that allow currents without damaging the animals, and the water is filtered and checked daily.
