Moscow Oceanarium, Public aquarium in Moscow, Russia.
The Moscow Oceanarium is a public aquarium housing large tanks where fish, sharks, and sea turtles swim in recreated ocean habitats. The facility displays tropical and cold-water species across differently designed tanks.
The aquarium opened in 2007 as part of the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy complex. Its creation reflected Russia's commitment to expanding marine research and public education.
The place serves as a gathering point for families and school groups exploring marine life together. The glass tanks create direct encounters with ocean creatures that would otherwise remain hidden from view.
The location is easily reached by metro station or bus lines serving the Exhibition grounds directly. Visitors should plan for substantial time as the displays cover extensive ground and invite thorough exploration.
Behind the scenes, the aquarium runs breeding programs for endangered marine species. The facility works internationally with other research centers to support ocean life protection efforts.
