The aquarium is closed for renovation until summer 2011.
Miyajima's aquarium, Marine Plaza Miyajima, is located on the far western end of the town area. Although the aquarium is not very big, a decent variety of sea creatures is put on display, including sharks, piranha, porpoises, electric eels and penguins.
The aquarium has both an indoor area and an outdoor area. Throughout the day there are frequent shows, which are usually rather brief and simple displays. Among others, there is a "sea lion show" and a "penguin stroll".
