The aquarium is located in the building of the Institute of Aquaculture and Fisheries, which was erected in 1912. Sea inhabitants live in spacious reservoirs where optimal living conditions are created. Part of the exhibition shows the underwater fauna of the Black Sea, another part is dedicated to the oceans. In addition to fish, here you can see algae, mollusks, octopuses and jellyfish.

Not too big, but very interesting expositions of underwater world. Plenty of clean aquariums, full of fishes. Entrance fee very cheap. Spent there 30 min - 1 hour.

I was expecting to see more about sea life. There are some small aquariums, interesting species, but more under expectations.

Really don't understand the low score of this place, for the price worth visiting. Various species of fish, tanks are clean and big. The building feels old but have it own charm.

I was badly surprised. I visited this aquarium 40 years ago and it is the same one! Like a museum of communist period! You can find only a few aquariums with common fish (no sea turtles, no special fish species from the Black Sea - as is promoted!!!)..

It's an post sovietic aquarium. Everything is old. The fish are crowded. Not very impressive. Looks more like a jail for fish. For 4 leva / adult ticket I think it's ok. The entrance looks like an abandoned and vandalized place.

Small aquarium with some interesting aquatic creatures and exhibits including some Axolotl. Ok for 30 mins or an hour, some tanks being cleaned and renovated. Didn't find Nemo.

She came and told us very aggressive to go out in the rain, even we were with small kids. Then when we asked for the receipt of the money she speak us bad and pretend she don t understand. Only when we say we will call the police and we show her the camera on the lobby she mark the money. An awful experience. Never again!!!

Disaster for 4 Leva entrance. If you want to see dying fish in the cloudy water and skeletons in glass tanks with formaldehyde it is right place for you. Real decadent experience.

We arrived there at 18:12, in a hurry after the dolphin show for a quick tour because it said it closes at 19. We were with our 2 girls. The ticket lady said it was closed even though right before us entered one couple. She did not let us in. So, awf.. Read more »ul experience.
Can't say anything about the specimens as we didn't have the chance to see anything but the exterior.
The building is old and beautiful, situated in a nice park, however it is in a state of abandonation, unrenovated, messy garden.

This place dramatically requires funding. It looks like zoo from dracula times. Building is big but just a couple of fishtanks inside with questionably unwell fishes.

Although the design is outdated, it is worth a visit. It could use some improvements but overall is worth the small price.

Nice little aquarium, but the opening hours on the door are not correct.

Taking our money without telling us it would close so soon and not sticking to your opening hours is unacceptable.

Sign on the door says last entry at 6:30pm, closing at 7pm. At 6:15pm while looking at the fish some lights in the tanks were turned off and my partner and I were told the aquarium was closed.

It would be a nice little area to sit in the evening if it weren't for the GIGANTIC mosquito breeding pool (the model of the Black Sea out front.) Seriously, when are they going to do something about this health hazard?
Oh, and could the police.. Read more » scare off the teens who keep moving piles of rocks onto the sidewalks for their "tricks".

The aquariums are way to small for the amount of fish in it. Don't go there and support this. Go snorkeling somewhere around and you will very nice fish and how they act when they are free and comfortable

Very interesting, only one aquarium was missing some information. Also, souvenirs could be a bit cheaper, but overall a great experience. Entrance is not expensive at all, I recommend paying the aquarium a visit.

I was a bit disapointed by the number of the exibited animals. I expected there to be larger alive specimens. Some of the displays were very hard to see what's going on. Otherwise it's good.

Small and poor, the museum objects are in bad shape and the live fish aquariums are dirty and undersized. Why dont they just charge more at the entrance and just take care of the place :(

Tiny aquariums for huge fish, no cleaning, dirty tanks. Tho they have one or two nice fish, it's sad to see them in there. Upgrade the premises or let the fish that are too big go to someone who can take care of them.
