Fascinating "immersion" in the world of underwater inhabitants will bring a lot of positive emotions and will forever be remembered by any child. Parents will be pleased to see delight on the faces of children and hear their admiring exclamations. Experiencing such feelings together will bring you closer together and will remain a topic for memories and general conversations for a long time.
Types of aquariums and their inhabitants
The Oceanarium is a large underwater park with many marine life. They are also called maritime museums. The expositions feature at least several pools with different types of sea inhabitants. They are connected by picturesque tunnel corridors and are decorated in the style of the seabed.
Groups of fish of various species, sea turtles, sharks and seals become inhabitants of large aquariums. The pearls of large marine parks are dolphinariums with dolphin and pinniped performances. In small ones, only small species of fish and invertebrates can be observed.
All inhabitants swim freely behind thick glass, making up peaceful communities. Sharks swim importantly, accompanied by a retinue of small fish. Starfish and corals at the bottom of the aquariums coexist with reefs and amazing landscapes of the deep sea.
Children in aquariums are interested in absolutely everything. They fall to the glass and observe the life of marine animals in an environment that is as close to natural as possible. Before going to the aquarium, parents should consider some of the features of these holiday destinations.
To the aquarium with children: what you need to know
The first thing parents should consider is how well their child tolerates confined spaces. The importance of this point should not be underestimated. If the child is overly impressionable, it is better to limit the time of the first stay in the marine park.
When entering the aquarium, you cannot take large bags and food with you, you cannot feed the animals and touch the inhabitants of open expositions with your hands. The child must be full and healthy, otherwise the joy of the holiday can become just a negative memory for him.
Prices for tickets to marine parks start at 100 rubles for children from 5 to 7 years old. Only babies up to 4 years old are allowed free. The average ticket price for adults is 500 rubles, on weekends the prices are 100 rubles more.
Photography is not included in the ticket price. This is an additional service. Parents can also organize a party for their child at the aquarium according to an individual program, with a meeting with a diver. It will be a great birthday present for your baby.
Aquariums of Russia
Currently, there are about a dozen oceanariums in Russia. Several are located in the southern seaside resort cities: Krasnodar, Gelendzhik and Sochi. Two - in the capital of our country, Moscow and St. Petersburg. There are also aquariums in Vladivostok, Murmansk and Voronezh.
The largest marine park is the Sochi Oceanarium, which opened in 2011. It has 29 aquariums, they are located on six thousand square meters and are filled with five million tons of water.
The Sochi Marine Park amazes with its expositions and variety of inhabitants. Here visitors can see fish-hedgehogs, fish-cows, stingrays and countless schools of colorful small fish.
A visit to the aquarium with children is an undertaking worthy of attention and time spent. And money for tickets is nothing compared to the experience of walking on the seabed. The child will remember for a long time the sharks swimming overhead and funny fur seals. And thank the parents for the interesting excursion.
