Description of the attraction
Alushta Aquarium is located in a round beautiful building. This building is located in the center of Alushta, and in shape resembles a flying saucer of aliens. Alushta Aquarium is an amazing sight of the city, stunning in its beauty for passers-by and tourists. Currently, it is one of the youngest and largest in the whole of Ukraine. It appeared in 2003. At that time, the first fish exhibition was opened here by specialists-ichthyologists, headed by Viktor Zhilenko.
From the very beginning, only one hall worked, where fish from the areas of two seas: the Azov and the Black seas were exhibited. Exhibits were brought from everywhere to replenish the maritime museum of the city of Alushta. There were exhibits of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, as well as the waters of the Azov and Black Seas. Such exhibitions can be found only in large aquariums. Throughout Ukraine, there is no such aquarium, distinguished by its uniqueness, as the aquarium of the city of Alushta.
Alushta aquarium today is an underwater kingdom, which has 250 species of all kinds of fish, and maybe more that live on our planet. The museum of the Alushta Aquarium is inhabited not only by fish, but also by amphibians: there are three types of crocodiles, turtles are found - eight species and five different types of crabs.
The Alushta aquarium consists of four rooms filled with aquatic inhabitants and a museum, where an exhibition of the most beautiful corals and unique shells is located.
When you go inside, the doors open in front of you to a beautiful fairy tale, which has its own characters and plot. Entering the first hall, we find ourselves in the Crimean cave, in the center of which there is a fairly large reservoir. Here we enjoy the beauty of fish that live in the Black and Azov Seas. The second and third halls were filled with freshwater fish that were brought from all over the aquatic world. Here you can meet the bloodthirsty piranha of Natterer and a very large fish that is found in freshwater waters - Arapaimu Gigas, the length of which reaches 9 meters or more, and you will also see freshwater moray eels. Many species of fish of the Alushta aquarium are now included in the Red Book. If you are not a timid dozen, then be sure to look at the real bloodthirsty crocodiles. Among them, the most aggressive is the Cuban crocodile. The kindest turtles are also present here, the life expectancy of some of them reaches almost 250 years.
The fourth room contains fish from the Indian and Pacific Ocean, as well as fish from the Red Sea. They amaze the audience with their surprisingly variegated colors. In this room you can enjoy the graceful movements of a dangerous lionfish or admire the sticky fish, which has a sucker on its head, thanks to which it travels everywhere with sharks and sea turtles. Many more interesting things await you in the Alushta aquarium, where everyone will find something interesting for themselves.

Nice fish, but boorish staff The aquarium makes a good impression. Entrance costs 450 rubles, a free tour is provided. The aquariums are beautifully decorated, there is a pond with koi carps, which can be fed for 20 rubles from a food vending machine.
However, at the end of the excursion, some blonde woman began to photograph the boy's eye …

Here it is! The diversity of the inhabitants of this aquarium is fascinating, and the responsibility of the staff for their wards pleases! They surround them with care and do not leave them in trouble! Quite recently, the workers of this aquarium caught all the carp with their fry from the fountain located on the embankment, resettling them for the winter in …

Beautiful place On the embankment there is a landmark Seahorse. Is this a new symbol of the city of Alushta? It is so cool that the kids clung to it from all sides and ride it like a merry-go-round. We also joined. We walked around it from all sides. Photographed. A very positive symbol. I think he brought …

For a small fee, you can tease crocodiles and tortoises while feeding! New impressions and …

A fun introduction to the underwater kingdom! Everything is very impressive! A wide variety of underwater inhabitants, about which you can both read on the plates and learn from the guides! Surprisingly, I really liked the first hall, with its outdoor pool! Huge sturgeon, which are not afraid of anyone and rising closer to the surface, seem to greet …
