Ocean Park, Krasnodar, Oceanarium in Krasnodar, Russia.
Ocean Park is a 3,000 m² aquarium in Krasnodar holding 1 million litres of water, with a main tank of 350,000 litres and 39 tonnes of acrylic glass. Its underwater shark tunnel and a 55,000-litre glass tank display over 200 fish species from the Red, Mediterranean and Black Seas, the North Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and South American waters.
Ocean Park opened on 17 December 2011, with total investment of 160 million roubles. Its operator, the Ocean Park group of companies, had already built an oceanarium in Gelendzhik in 2007 and a dolphinarium-oceanarium in Anapa in 2010. The Krasnodar site covers 3,000 m² and ranks among the largest oceanariums in southern Russia.
Ocean Park displays species from the Red, Mediterranean and Black Seas, the North Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and South American waters, including Natterer's piranhas, leopard morays and zebra lionfish. Keepers stage public feedings of the piranhas daily and of sturgeons, catfish, pangasius and sharks every three days.
The aquarium has clear glass viewing areas where you can watch the animals easily. Visitors find several tanks with different types of animals that are easy to access throughout.
The 55,000-litre glass tank is separate from the main aquarium, which holds 350,000 litres and is crossed by a transparent tunnel. On the second floor stands Russia's largest all-glass aquarium. The complex also includes a mirror maze and a souvenir shop.
