These huge Aquariums what are they called?

Question

Can anyone tell me how these huge aquariums are called where you walk like thrue a underground tunnel and you can see the fish and all this ocean stuff thrue these huge windows

Answer 1

What the fish are kept in is still called an aquarium, tank, or exhibit.

Some specific ones have their own names like "Ocean Voyager" at the Georgia Aquarium: http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/exploreTheAquarium/oceanVoyager.aspx , "Aquarium of the Bay" in San Fransisco: http://sanfrancisco.citysearch.com/profile/35382476/?brand=smx_other-nc , the Newport Aquarium (Ohio) has several such exhibits: http://www.enquirer.com/aquarium/

Oh, like Passages of the Deep in the Oregon Aquarium....

In an underwater adventure. visitors are immersed in Keiko’s former home through acrylic tunnels surrounded by several feet of sea water. Passages of the Deep has proven to be an unique attraction. As though they were taking a walk into the open ocean, visitors are able to come face to face with large sharks...

Anyways, I believe it's just called an "aquarium tunnel"

Answer 3

they are called aquariums. it would be more accurate to call it something else -- like a vivarium for fish (aquarium in latin was where you take animals to drink -- a vivarium is where animals live -- its late and i am full of useless information).

Answer 4

Huge aquariums that you can walk through.
