Lonely Planet review

Veracruz' well-done aquarium, Acuario de Veracruz is a worthwhile visit about 2km south of the city center. There's a large donut-shaped tank filled with sharks, rays and turtles that glide around visitors. Other tanks house freshwater and saltwater fish, reptiles and amphibians, river otters and even manatees. But for a really dramatic encounter climb into the Tiburonería - a transparent safety cage that is lowered into a pool of feeding sharks.
