Visible from highway 90, this is the Aquatic Wonders building! This building stands three-stories tall and will contain more than 300,000 gallons of water. That’s nearly half the amount of water in an Olympic-sized swimming pool!
One of the Aquatic Wonder’s unique features is the 360-degree suspended acrylic tunnel. While most aquariums have a 180-degree tunnel on their ground levels, Mississippi Aquarium’s tunnel goes directly through the primary habitat. This will give guests a chance to “walk on water” while having views of marine life from every angle—above them and below them.
