The aquarium showcases a remarkable range of marine exhibits, including the Coral Sea tank, which is bathed in natural light, and the Deep Sea tank that highlights unique creatures from immense ocean depths. Notably, it was the first to successfully breed whale sharks and manta rays in captivity. Visitors can also engage with interactive displays, attend feeding shows, and enjoy outdoor pools featuring dolphins and sea turtles. The aquarium blends education with captivating experiences, highlighting the diverse ecosystem of the surrounding Okinawan Sea.
