Next to the Aqualife Park is the Suma Beach swimming area and an expansive park filled with greenery that is not only a splendid environment for the ecology of marine life but also a place with facilities built for the close observation of marine life in an environment that is as natural as possible.
Protruding from the 1st and 2nd floors of the Main Building is a large tank where sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles swim beside schools of sardines. Surges of water created by an artificial wave maker give visitors a feeling of the mighty deep of the Pacific Ocean.
There is also Japan's first underwater tunnel called "Amazon World." Here enormous fresh water fish swim around you and you can watch the spectacle of fish swimming above as you experience the feeling of walking underwater.
At Suma Aqualife Park, you are treated to three kinds of events recommended for families: a live fish show, an sea otter feeding show, and a dolphin show.
