It includes a 'predator' tank specifically housing blacktip reef sharks.

The complex utilizes advanced filtration technology to maintain water chemistry for species from varying geographic regions.
The site was developed as a collaboration between the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality and private sector sponsors.
Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality ETI Underwater World is a specialized aquarium complex located within the expansive Sazova Science, Culture, and Art Park. The facility houses diverse marine ecosystems including Amazonian, tropical, and oceanic tanks. It features an 84-meter-long underwater tunnel that allows visitors to view sharks and stingrays from beneath the surface. The aquarium is integrated into a larger park complex that also hosts a pirate ship and a fairy tale castle. Specialized exhibits include a touch pool and sections dedicated to jellyfish and piranhas. The site serves as both an educational hub and an entertainment venue for families visiting the Eskişehir region. All habitats are strictly climate-controlled to mimic the native environments of the aquatic species.
