Moscow, Oceanarium: prices, address, photo and reviews

In October 2011 in Moscow, in the shopping and entertainment complex "RIO", the first and largest Oceanarium in Moscow was opened.

Creators of the project

The appearance of Muscovites in the Moscow land of this remarkable complex is due to the group of companies "Tashir", which occupies the thirtieth place according to Forbs. The company acted as investors to the Oceanarium on Dmitrovskoye Shosse, which very successfully blended into the premises of the SEC "RIO". By the way, he also belongs to "Tashir".

Designer and the main contractor of the construction was the company LLC Aqua Logo Engineering. As a result of the fruitful joint work of designers, designers, designers, biologists and workers, it was possible to realize the dream of many exotic fans for a year in just one year. In dozens of aquariums, swimming pools, terrariums, enclosures created ideal conditions for their inhabitants. Moreover, here are simulated corners of nature, ranging from the Arctic seas to the hot tropics. Most importantly, the specialists of the company "Aqua Logo Engineering" created not just an original design: they thought out the convenience and safety of animals to the smallest detail.

about the project

In the Oceanarium, very original and interesting solutions of talented designers are realized: glass floors, with aquariums under them and a bottomless starry sky. In the 5D cinema, visitors can experience the breath of the ocean breeze and the gentle smells of the sea. Open-air swimming pools are represented by seals and seals, which were specially trained in the skill of the dolphinarium of Anapa. Animals, plants and their delivery from the Antarctic, Australia, the Caribbean and the Barents Seas cost the creators of the complex 20 million rubles, and the entire Oceanarium in 18 million dollars. At the same time 500 people can visit this miracle.

Description of exposition

The territory of the Oceanarium is divided into several thematic zones:

• "Jungle".
• "Lagoon".
• "Amazon".
• "Seals".
• "Ocean".
• "Tropics".
• "Cave".

Acquaintance with the Oceanarium begins from the polar zone, where penguins live in pens.

Malawian cichlids settled in the tropics . Next to them, the birds of paradise, monkeys, parrots are quite comfortable.

Nobody will remain indifferent when they see coral reefs that are found only in some areas of the Red Sea. Corals of the most bizarre shapes and colors, bodies, angelfish, bright yellow zebra and other mysterious inhabitants of underwater depths will cause admiration not only in children, but also in adults.

"Amazon"

In this outdoor pool you can admire the representatives of South America. It's aaron, friendly paku, colorful astronotus. The most predatory inhabitants of the Amazon are piranhas. They are kept in a separate aquarium.

Mysterious caves

This section introduces you to the nocturnal marine inhabitants - the Egyptian wings and Mexican blind fish.

Rare specimens

A lot of unusual for Europeans representatives of flora and fauna settled in the Oceanarium on the Dmitrov highway. Live here and truly unique specimens, even for the natural environment: for example, a small fish anulyaris and coral actinium magnesia.

Excursions

Today the largest institution of this type in our country boasts Moscow. The oceanarium on Dmitrovsky is not the largest in Europe, but it is very beautiful and cozy. Visitors are very attracted to bridges with glass floors, especially areas where you can admire living corals.

Many sights amazes its guests the city of Moscow. The oceanarium should be visited necessarily! There are regular cognitive excursions here, so no one will leave with the accumulated questions - the professional guide will answer everything. Usually groups are designed for 10-15 people. This is very convenient for guides and guests.

Most recently, many believed that in a "non-marine" city, like Moscow, a high-level oceanarium is difficult to create. But this is a delusion. According to experts, the Oceanarium has turned out to be high quality.

Advice

The inhabitants of the Oceanarium are very shy, so the use of flash cameras is strictly prohibited.

Penguin

Penguins attract special attention of visitors. These charming creatures feel quite comfortable here and as if they do not notice curious eyes. At once I want to note the tremendous work done by the organizers of this wonderful corner of nature in a huge metropolis. We feel love and care for the "guests" of the capital, the desire to make their stay in the new place of residence as comfortable as possible.

Terrarium

There are a lot of inhabitants: crocodile caimans and turtles, lizards and chameleons, snakes and a giant anaconda.

The oceanarium "RIO" in Moscow has the main key element - an aquarium with a transparent tunnel. Its capacity is 412 thousand liters of water. It consists of two vaulted tunnels, completely transparent, made of high-strength acrylic. Thanks to this amazing design, visitors seem to be inside the underwater kingdom, and observe the lives of its inhabitants from the inside.

In the aquarium there is a huge swimming pool with a spacious viewing room, which allows watching pinniped shows. All the animals in the Oceanarium were delivered by the company "Aqua Logo".

In addition to simple observation of marine life, the Oceanarium in Moscow (the photo of which you see in this article) provides its guests with a unique opportunity to see the feeding of predatory sharks and the performance of fur seals under the supervision of an experienced trainer. Such unique programs can not be seen in every European com- plex. This Oceanarium in Moscow is the largest. The volume of its exposure is more than 500 tons of water.

Feeding

Many are interested in what the marine inhabitants are feeding, especially foreign ones. It turns out that for each type of fish food is prepared separately. Water is also prepared separately, and each type is selected the most comfortable temperature.

It is interesting to observe the feeding of piranhas. It seems that peaceful and pretty "karasikas" quietly swim in their "house" while waiting for their feeding. The technologist of the Oceanarium draws a heavy piece of frozen fish from the refrigerator, throws it into the aquarium, but the audience only hears a slap: the feed, before it sinks to the bottom, disappears in the toothy mouths ... An eerie sight, believe me!

Sea water for the Oceanarium is prepared artificially. To fill all the tanks consumes more than a million liters of water.

In the Oceanarium there are two sites for presentations. One of them has an auditorium to watch the show of fur seals and seals. The second auditorium has no: it is intended for feeding leopard sharks, hammerhead and other predators. Those who want to feed fish can use the open swimming pools, of course, if they do not have predators.
