About Mississippi Aquarium

The Mississippi Aquarium spreads its habitats across 5.8 acres on East Beach Boulevard in Gulfport, holding more than a million gallons of salt and fresh water. You can watch bottlenose dolphins, river otters, American alligators, sharks and rays, walk through an aviary, and visit the touch pool. A 360-degree acrylic tunnel puts you underwater with the fish. It opened in 2020, replacing the Marine Life Oceanarium destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
