Turtles in Istanbul Aquarium

The Sea Life Aquarium Istanbul is part of the Sea Life franchise, which is the world's largest commercial aquarium network. They have over 50 locations across the globe, including the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, and many more. Merlin Entertainments is the company that owns them. In October 2009, Sea Life Istanbul opened in Bayrampasa's Forum Istanbul retail complex. It was formerly known as Turkuazoo, but after a short time, it was acquired by Merlin Entertainment, which also owns Madame Tussauds and Legoland. 

The only private Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center in Turkey is located in Sea Life Istanbul. They bring in injured sea turtles discovered in the wild and cure them. Another fascinating feature is the stingray bay, where you can observe big, gorgeous rays with smiling faces.
