Mosquarium (VDNH)

There is no sea or ocean in Moscow, however there is the Mosquarium that is one of the biggest oceanariums in Europe. It is located on the legendary Exhibition Center VDNH.

It is a home for more than 12 thousand water animals from different parts of the planet. Varicolored fishes are swimming around in the first aquarium, crocodiles are quietly sleeping in the second one, mischievous Baikal seals are playing in the third one. Every visitor has a possibility to touch nereids, hermitcrabs, crabs, numbfishes and horseshoe crabs. You can go through the spectacular glass tunnel under the shark tank. Premier stars of the Mosquarium are three grampuses. Grempuses are the big rarity for oceanariums all over the world, but you can watch them here in the panoramic aquarium and during the water show. The biggest one is the grampus named Narnia, that weighted about 3 tons.
