With its tour path, thematization, interactivity, rainforest, and cutting-edge technology, Istanbul Aquarium is the newest aquarium of its kind that shelters fish species found in the world's oceans.

Istanbul Aquarium ranks first among aquariums worldwide for its size, diversity of fish species, and activities along the pathways. This project establishes "firsts" and "mosts" in its industry. The tourists move along a route that hosts 17 themes and 1 rainforest as they move from the Black Sea to the Pacific by following a geographical itinerary.

The World's Biggest Thematic Aquarium

The cultural, geographic, historical, and architectural characteristics of each space are thematically represented, together with the appropriate ornamental elements, interactive games, movies, and visual graphics that convey information about the locale. Each space's sound and lighting systems have been set up in accordance with this thematization. The management of the Istanbul Aquarium complies in every way with international standards and is carried out by subject-matter experts. All living things in the Istanbul Aquarium continue to exist in environments that are as similar to those in their natural habitat as possible.
