Housed inside a former elementary school, the Muroto Schoolhouse Aquarium reimagines childhood nostalgia through a wonderfully inventive aquatic lens. The school’s original outdoor swimming pool is now home to hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and rays, while gym vaulting boxes and hallway washbasins serve as whimsical tanks and touch pools. Visitors can wander between classrooms displaying preserved ocean specimens and vintage school supplies alongside seasonal marine 'transfer students' introduced from local waters. It offers a delightfully eccentric, family-friendly encounter with marine ecology that breathes unforgettable new life into a disused campus.
