oceanarium
Saltwater creature exhibit
An oceanarium is a large aquarium for marine life, typically featuring dolphins, seals, and other sea creatures in tanks that simulate ocean environments.
Unlike smaller aquariums focused on fish displays, oceanariums emphasize larger marine mammals and often include performance shows: We watched the dolphins at the oceanarium.
