Thank you feedback
All Moscow was looking forward to the new aquarium. The photo from its opening is direct proof of this: just a kilometer queue gathered at the entrance that day, and in order to purchase a ticket, it was necessary to stand at least an hour.
From the very first days, the oceanarium delighted and surprised its visitors. Many people say that everything was done there very beautifully and magically, and the huge water scene, where sea artists perform together with their trainers, in size resembles just a giant football field.
In order to fully understand what constitutes this grand marine complex, all this spectacle must be seen with your own eyes.
