Mississippi Aquarium, Public aquarium in Gulfport, United States.

Mississippi Aquarium is a facility in Gulfport with both indoor and outdoor areas where animals and plants from different habitats live. The exhibits show both local species and creatures from distant oceans in naturalistic settings.

The facility was built in the early 2020s as a major regional project for the coastal city. It developed through collaboration between local, state, and private organizations.

The facility helps shape how people in the area understand the Gulf Coast and its marine life. Visitors encounter the waters that matter to this region's identity and economy.

The 5.8-acre complex mixes indoor galleries with outdoor habitats and landscaped footpaths lined with native plants from seven physiographic regions of Mississippi. Expect to move between buildings and open-air paths, so dress for Gulfport weather and plan time for both sections.

Three sails stand at the aquarium entrance and appear on its logo, a reference to Gulfport's harbor setting. The site opened on August 29, 2020, the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, replacing the Marine Life Oceanarium that the storm destroyed.
