Sharks, jellyfish, reef fish, and more than 350 marine species live in the Michin Mexico City Aquarium, in the Gustavo A. Madero mayor’s office.
This Wednesday, businessmen and investors inaugurated the aquarium of more than 30 thousand meters of construction made up of seven pavilions that highlight the cultures of Mexico such as the Zapotec, Mayan, Olmec and Mixtec.
The mayor of Gustavo A. Madero, Francisco Chigüil Figueroa, highlighted that this aquarium will have a positive economic impact for the inhabitants of the mayor’s office and for the areas near the district such as Ecatepec, Tlanepantla and Nezahualcóyotl, which total close to six million inhabitants. .
“It has a high impact for micro and small businesses in San Juan de Aragón and the Basilica of Guadalupe. There is a high demand because we are the second most populated municipality in our city,” he noted.
“A very important area is rescued because it was almost abandoned and today we have a large Tepeyac Park and also a large aquarium that we are putting into operation today,” he said.
In this place, residents of the capital will immerse themselves in the marine world where they will be able to live the experience of observing sharks, starfish, manta rays and axolotls, in addition to being able to touch and interact with penguins and lemurs.
Rodrigo Alvaro Cordero, president of Acuario Michin, highlighted that 98 percent of the water they use for the aquarium comes from the sea, one percent from the water treatment plant installations for irrigation and cleaning.
“And only one percent of the fresh water we use from the Cutzamala Water System, which is managed and dosed for human consumption and the species we house,” he noted.
He highlighted that Michin Aquarium has a conservation program, a wildlife research center and a laboratory for water care.
In addition, visitors will find a wide variety of rescued land animals such as capybaras, flamingos, the yellow anaconda, frogs, snakes, among others.
The top floor of this aquatic space is dedicated to family recreation where people can have fun with golf activities, climbing walls, batting cages, hanging bridges, skating rinks, among other early stimulation areas.
Michin Aquarium will be open 365 days a year from 12 noon to 9 pm. The cost of the ticket is 349 pesos per person and the box office will be open until 5 p.m.
