Animals & Exhibits

Great Things are Coming!

We're so sorry for your inconvenience. This section of our website is currently under development while we prepare for our scheduled grand opening in the Spring of 2024. As exhibits are completed and new animals arrive at our location, we will periodically update this web page. While this particular page is under construction, we invite you to check out the rest of our website which is fully functional and full of great information about El Paso's first indoor interactive aquarium.

Be sure to also check out the great deals we are currently offering on our annual membership passes and party packages!

This aquarium is just what we need in El Paso. I can't wait to take the kids for their very first visit.

Unleash Your Interactive Adventure

At Jungle Reef, we're transforming how you explore marine and terrestrial life. Step into a world where you can dive into the underwater realm with sharks, glide alongside graceful stingrays, interact with playful otters, and discover the mesmerizing world of reptiles. But that's just the beginning. Our immersive exhibits will introduce you to a diverse array of species, from colorful birds to captivating reptiles, all in an environment that closely replicates their natural habitats.

Unlike traditional aquariums, Jungle Reef is all about interaction. Imagine reaching out to touch the smooth skin of a stingray, hand-feeding colorful birds as they flutter around you, or having an up-close encounter with our majestic sharks. Our mission is to bring you face-to-face with these incredible creatures, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of the animal kingdom.
