Exhibitions

Terrariom

This exhibit takes you into abandoned Mayan ruins where you’ll meet the descendants of the enigmatic dinosaurs, the magnificent reptiles. These animals are cold-blooded and require sunlight to warm their bodies. 
In the Terrarium you will see species such as geckos, dart frogs, Russian turtles, Burmese python and more!

Ocean

This exhibition is a real trip, a labyrinth that will transport you 550 million years back in time where you can find the famous jellyfish, animals so old that they have not developed brains, eyes, blood or hearts. They were one of the first organisms to colonize the prehistoric oceans and they continue to thrive thanks to the complex adaptations that have allowed them to survive 5 massive extinctions, including the one of the dinosaurs.

You will learn about the two largest and most important barrier reefs found in the world: one is right in front of Playa del Carmen in the Mexican Caribbean and the largest is located in Australia. Get to know more than 500 colorful specimens that thrive in these important ecosystems. You will meet a wide variety of species including the blue surgeon better known as "Dory", the clown fish best known as “Nemo”, seahorses, lionfish and so much more!
