For most Mexican visitors, the aquarium is one of the city's major attractions. The largest aquarium in Latin America, with numerous tanks, large and small, displaying a multitude of marine environments, el Acuario can hold its own with American public aquariums. The doughnut-shaped reef tank gives the illusion of being surrounded by the ocean and its inhabitants. The large shark tank also impresses.
