Penza Aquarium
Three years ago, on May 17, the first oceanarium (in Penza) was opened in the Volga Federal District. The giant aquarium is located on the ground floor of the Retail Park shopping center. There are guided tours, during which everyone can get acquainted with a variety of exotic fish and other underwater inhabitants, as well as see a scuba diver show (on Sundays at 12:00) and watch the feeding of the inhabitants of the aquariums (on Saturdays at 12:00). On a fairly decent area there are more than ten large aquariums, there is also a special room with small aquariums where small fish live, there are several outdoor pools with turtles and sharks. Each aquarium hangs a luminous panel, which depicts the fish contained in it, and their detailed description. There is also a contact zone in the aquarium, where each guest can touch and feed the fish on their own.
Recently, the leadership of the Aquarium held a large-scale work to expand and develop it: the grand opening of the souvenir shop, a family cafe and a department took place, where people can buy everything they need to create their own home aquarium and get professional advice on the contents of its inhabitants and design.

Reviews
Oceanarium in Penza is advised to visit many residents of the city and the nearest settlements. Visitors note the beautiful design of both the complex itself and each aquarium, a large area. Of course, children especially like the aquarium; for many hours they can stand near the fish and admire them. Of particular interest are frogs, sharks, turtles and, of course, a huge freshwater slope, swimming 10 centimeters from the face and gracefully gliding on the glass. Judging by the reviews, the aquarium has friendly staff who willingly talks about their pets. People who visited the venue during the show, get a great impression of the work of a scuba diver. The diver does not just feed the fish, but dances with sharks, waves his guests and tries to amuse the children.
Each month, the oceanarium hosts entertaining and educational activities for children. Judging by the reviews, they cause incredible delight among the majority of visitors, and not only impress those who were in such establishments on a large scale. Many in aquariums lack jellyfish, seahorses and other little things, but in general for Penza this is a symbolic place. Especially considering the fact that at the moment there are similar establishments in only ten cities of Russia.
