Crocus City Oceanarium

Very nice aquarium, with a big variety of fish, but to be honest not as big and having the variety of Moskvarium. The ticket is 900 rubbles during the weekdays and 1000 during the weekends. BUT, it's the only one in Moscow where you can actually dive in! Fantastic experience! If you're a scuba diver, do not miss that chance to live a unique diving experience, with lots of great fish (groupers, small sharks, turtles, barracudas, rays etc) so curious and used to human presence!

Wow! What an aquarium! Not only does it have marine life but it also has freshwater animals, jungle animals, and an Ice Age exhibit! A great experience overall, would definitely recommend taking the children out on an educational adventure filled with fun. PROS: Plenty of places to visit, has a cafe, and food that would interest the children (popcorn, lollipops, etc) CONS: Very nit-picky problems but I'll mention them nonetheless. To take photos a photo pass is required. In some areas, specifically between the freshwater area and the marine area, birds are flying freely (potential cause for concern as bird poop may get on clothing). However, that could be taken as an experience for children to enjoy watching exotic birds fly within an arms reach.

Loved the place! Very nicely designed - great variety of sea and river inhabitants. Kids friendly - even the little ones can see it all without you having to lift them all the time.

Liked this place a lot. 3 pavilions: fresh water, salted water and jungles, many varieties of fish and other wildlife, including birds, sloth and insects.

Very nice place to visit. Fairly small, however lots of fun and positive moments. Convenient location, very easy to get there by subway.
