Located inside The Shore Shopping Gallery right by the Malacca River, the Shore Oceanarium has quickly established itself as one of the newest premier tourist attractions in Bandar Hilir, Melaka. The Shore Oceanarium prides itself on being the first aquarium in Malaysia that gives you a 3D experience using special 3D glasses. At the exhibit, you can have ‘real vision’ of some places and species such as mangrove trees in Melaka, the Pahang rainforest as well as fossil stones and extinct fish species via the 3D light board display.
There are 12 unique exhibits such as Jungle Quest, Ocean Theatre and Magic Aquarium that you can visit on your walk through the oceanarium. As soon as you enter, you’re greeted by the Interactive Touch Pool, where you can get up close and personal with marine species such as starfish, sea cucumber, bamboo sharks and even horseshoe crabs!
The highlight of the oceanarium lies in the final exhibit: Kampung Penyu. A joint venture between Shore Oceanarium and the Malaysian Fisheries Department, this exhibit featuring adorable sea turtles aims to provide education and raise awareness on the protection of this species.
