Mississippi Aquarium opened in 2020 in Gulfport, Mississippi, showcasing the state’s remarkable aquatic biodiversity from the Appalachian highlands to the Gulf of Mexico. The 5.8-acre campus features both indoor galleries and expansive outdoor habitats with dolphins, alligators, sea turtles, and native Gulf species.
The aquarium’s design traces water’s journey through Mississippi — from mountain streams through delta wetlands to the Gulf shoreline — highlighting the ecological connections between freshwater and marine environments. The Dolphin Terrace offers interactive dolphin encounter programs.
Mississippi Aquarium holds AMMPA accreditation and serves as a gateway to understanding Mississippi’s rich aquatic heritage.
