GULFPORT - Fifteen years after Katrina, the Mississippi Aquarium was to open to the public Aug. 29 as a project to revitalize the area. “There are so many great recovery stories, and now Mississippi Aquarium will be another great story ... and it has paid off,” said Kurt Allen, president/CEO of Mississippi Aquarium. Aquatic animals on display are those found in Mississippi’s rivers and coastline are features the American alligator, sharks, sting rays, turtles and otters. Dolphins will arrive in the future. Currently, timed arrival tickets are required before visiting, and tickets are on sale. Reservations are secured in 30-minute time slots, and guests will only be admitted before their scheduled time when capacity allows (due to coronavirus safety). The length of your stay will not be limited. The Aquarium will be open 7 days a week from 10 am to 5 pm. (Source: Oxford Eagle 08/29/20)
