Duman Oceanarium
«Думан» океанариумы
Often called one of the oceanariums farthest from the sea. A 70-meter underwater tunnel lets you see sharks and tropical fish, which makes it a good choice for families.
The oceanarium at the Duman Entertainment Center opened in 2003. Astana lies deep in the Eurasian interior, thousands of kilometers from the nearest sea, so it is often called the "oceanarium farthest from the sea." Inside, a roughly 70-meter acrylic tunnel lets you see sharks, rays, sea turtles, and many kinds of tropical fish. There are also diver feeding shows. Admission prices depend on the venue, and it gets crowded on weekends. It is on the Ishim River in the northern part of the left bank. You can visit it together with the neighboring Atameken miniature map park.
