VISITING THE AQUARIUM IN THE CITY OF VERACRUZ October 11
Due to its modern technology and functions, the Veracruz Aquarium is one of the most important and at the same time complete Aquariums in all of Latin America. The Aquarium is located inside a shopping mall in the city of Veracruz and it has about 200 aquatic species divided in three different rooms or tanks: the fresh water gallery, the salt water gallery, and the ocean one. The Aquarium also has three sections and these are the shark section, the manatee section, and a pool where you can pet the animals.
80% of the habitat of the Aquarium is natural habitat and the remaining 20% is artificial. The size of the Aquarium is of 3,492 square meters. These are some of the things you can expect to see when visiting this Aquarium. In the fresh water gallery, you will see numerous turtles, boas, crocodiles, and colorful toucans flying from one branch to another. In the salt water tank, you will see more than 90 species. Some of these species are fish, reptiles, octopus, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and sea horses from the gulf of Mexico, all of these species are arranged in 15 different sizes of tanks.
For those who like excitement, there is the shark section. This section will make your heart beat as you experience the emotion and adrenaline. There is also a section that your children will enjoy very much, and this is the manatee section. This section will be especially fun for your kids because they can interact with these animals. So I recommend you to visit the Veracruz aquarium. It’s the best way to go and dive into this fascinating world with a little fun, science, and culture to boot. Do not miss the opportunity to live this wonderful experience.
The aquarium is located in the Avila Camacho boulevard, playon de Hornos, in the port of Veracruz. It’s open from Monday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The entrance fee for adults is $6 USD and for kids under 12 years old costs only $3 USD.
