What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
A small Yalta Aquarium works at the Yalta-Intourist Hotel. Here, in ordinary aquariums in four halls, you can see exotic inhabitants of warm seas, more than 200 species in total. There are two crocodiles, stingrays, land and sea turtles, two small reef sharks, moray eels, piranhas and many beautiful colored fish. And a special decoration of this place is an old car in front of the entrance, from which an original aquarium was made, and it can be viewed for free. There are no guided tours, you just inspect the inhabitants yourself.
This is the only aquarium in Yalta, and if for some reason you cannot get to other oceanariums in Crimea, then you can visit here. But do not expect too much, it will be interesting except for children. Well, as an alternative or in addition, you can also go with the children to the Yalta Crocodilarium, the most famous in the Crimea.
