Aqua Vega, Public aquarium in Mamak, Turkey.
Aqua Vega is located inside the Nata Vega Outlet complex and houses 24 different aquariums containing over 12,000 marine animals in 5 million liters of water. The facility displays a wide range of fish species, coral, and other sea creatures in large water tanks.
The opening of Aqua Vega marked a significant development for Ankara's educational facilities, bringing marine life observation to the inland capital. Since then, the facility has grown to become an established destination for people interested in learning about ocean life.
The place serves as a learning center where Turkish families and school groups come to observe marine life and learn about conservation. Visitors can watch different fish species and sea creatures in their tanks and gain understanding of ocean habitats.
Visiting requires time to explore the different tanks at your own pace and wearing comfortable shoes. The indoor space can become crowded, especially on weekends and during school holidays, so it is better to come on quieter weekdays.
Beyond the tanks, the facility includes an Adrenaline World section housing over 250 wild animal species, extending far beyond typical marine exhibitions. This combination makes it a versatile destination where visitors can encounter a broader range of wildlife.
