You enter the aquarium from the second floor of the iias Okinawa Toyosaki mall, about twenty minutes by car from Naha Airport. Its upper floor is built as a subtropical forest, with owls, penguins, sloths and tortoises. The lower floor is the sea: a walk-through tunnel, a jellyfish room, a tank of Okinawan fish, and a coral display. Feeding sessions are offered for otters, sloths, penguins, tortoises and the micro pigs. Everything is under a roof, with elevators and ramps on both floors.
