The Oceanarium in Krasnodar - a successful embodiment of the amazing beauty of the underwater world

Without wearing scuba gear and fins, you can make an exciting trip to the deep world of marine and river inhabitants, visiting the oceanarium in Krasnodar. "Galaxy" is a city shopping and entertainment center, where you can arrange a wonderful shopping, see and participate in a variety of fairs, exhibitions, festivals and charity events. And also wander through the spectacular expositions of the largest oceanarium in the South of Russia.

General information

The grandiose oceanarium in Krasnodar, the capacity of the water basins of which exceeds 850 tons, is equipped with many filters of the last generation for constant purification of water, similar in composition to the oceanic one. With the help of modern air conditioning systems, it maintains a comfortable temperature. Several dozen aquariums hypnotize visitors with thousands of representatives of marine and freshwater fauna.

Shark Tunnel

Of particular interest is the glass tunnel with its terrible inhabitants - sharks. Unforgettable sensations arise in visitors, when just above the head or at the distance of the outstretched hand the black-shark sharks rush headlong. Slowly swimming white-fronted predators fascinate with their menacing grace. It was their relatives in the recent past who attacked Egyptian tourists. Their feeding once every three days, at about 5:30 pm local time, is produced by an aquarium scuba diver. However, sometimes the well-being of marine inhabitants makes adjustments to the diet. A lot of emotions are caused by this action in visitors, and especially in children who with wide eyes open absorb all the magic of the sea element.

Excursion possibilities

The oceanarium in Krasnodar called "Ocean Park" consists of several levels. Therefore, to the remotest aquariums you can get to, just a little wandering the stairs. On the monitors located above some large aquariums, constantly updated information about the local inhabitants. In addition, an experienced guide works on the territory of this water kingdom. He tells a lot of interesting facts from the life of the underwater world. In order to listen to his entertaining narrative, one should only find a crowd of curious visitors and join the excursion.

Water creative

A very interesting and fascinating sight for visitors was the observation of a parrot fish that does not breed itself in artificial conditions. Local ichthyologists have found a fairly simple and creative solution: with the help of non-standard jaws, exotic color and other creative refinements, they create conditions for her fertilization, which is extremely amusing for others.

Water with water, lunch on schedule

The Oceanarium in Krasnodar (address: 98, Ural street) has become one of the fascinating and cognitive local attractions. Every day you can see how the piranhas are fed on the natterera and the paku.

As an additional bonus for tourists - the organization of self-feeding of some inhabitants. Red-bellied turtles and Japanese koi carps with some laziness, but still willingly absorb the food. Attentively listening to announcements broadcast in the hall, you can find out which inhabitants of the aquarium will feed in the near future, and therefore, and watch this process. Lunch of dangerous moray eels and gluttonous piranhas is especially interesting for adults of ichthyology lovers.

Tactile Contact

In addition, aquariums are very popular, in which living inhabitants can be touched. Of course, this entertainment is safe, as in them there are only toothless carp, and not the formidable predators inhabiting the oceanarium in Krasnodar.

The official site (ocean-park.ru) provides a variety of information about the network of oceanariums located in Krasnodar, Gelendzhik and Anapa, as well as about the grandiose construction in Dubai.

Entertaining diversity

A variety of marine and freshwater fish, as well as crustaceans and newts, are located on the background of waterfalls and cozy lagoons, successfully highlighted and elegantly decorated by designers.

The Oceanarium in Krasnodar offers visitors not only an inspection of aquariums, but also a cafe with impressively bright photos of the inhabitants of the sea depths in the most favorable perspectives. In the "children's hut" young artists can show their talent by drawing one of the local representatives of the underwater world. Under the reliable supervision of attentive animators children's dreams come true, and the final chord becomes a sweet prize. The exposure of the mechanical shark, meeting tourists at the entrance, on some of the young visitors makes an indelible impression. Her jaws move ominously, and her eyes, burning with artificial fire, are capable of causing horror for minor naturalists for a short time. As a final chord, the aquarium in Krasnodar offers the purchase of memorable gifts in a souvenir shop.

And one more zoological world

In the city there is another oceanarium, discovered much earlier, in 1996. Its exposition occupies 3 floors. The oceanarium in Krasnodar (Sadovaya, 6) can demonstrate several dozen species of fish, and a half dozen mammals and reptiles.

In the basin of the first floor, Japanese carps feel comfortable, perfectly adjacent to the sturgeon, past which the swans swim slowly and swiftly. Kunits and porcupines, mongooses and raccoons, Far Eastern wild cats can be observed in open-air cages, and to examine the exposition with exotic reptiles and aquarium inhabitants it is necessary to rise a floor above.

A unique and memorable spectacle delivers emotional pleasure from enchanting visual and completely new tactile sensations when immersed in such a realistic imitation of the mysterious underwater world.
