If there is such a thing as enjoying the definitive family destination among the things to do in Cuba, then it is likely the National Aquarium of Cuba located in Havana. Built on the waterfront and established in 1960 by the Cuban Federal Government, it is a highly affordable and entertaining expo of flora and fauna which can serve as an excellent way to become acquainted with the animal life and ecosystems that can be found in the region.

Located at this aquarium is a variety of marine species that can be seen in their tanks, which due to their design featuring enhanced lighting effects and decoration offer a superb recreation of the original habitats of these wonderful creatures. Featured are tortoises with beaches, dolphins and their witty tricks, sea lions and the rocks upon which they like to laze about, at least a dozen fish species with all sorts of coral creations, and much more.
