The park and aquarium is located to the south of Eilat's Coral Beach nature reserve.

The observatory was built completely on land, which was then flooded with water from the Red Sea using armory parts and other metals.

The coral reef around the observatory flourished and became a major feeding spot for many fish and other marine wildlife, both carnivorous and herbivore.

To preserve the biodiversity of the Gulf of Eilat all the water returns to the sea in an ecologically neutral condition.

Water comes through the system of aquariums, reaches thousands of sea creatures and then is filtered to eliminate all mechanical and biological contamination.

When the eggs hatch, the baby sea turtles are taken into a small aquarium, where they are safe from predators and where they get food and vaccinations.

When they grow they are transferred to bigger aquarium, and finally when they are two years old with very high chance to survive in the wild they are released into the ocean.

Some of the animals in the exhibit are endemic to the Red Sea, and are in the observatory park for means of breeding and conservation.

The Amazon Hut is a rainforest theme exhibit featuring both aquatic and land-based wildlife from South America, such as caimans, electric eels, piranhas, arowanas, dart frogs, lizards, tarantulas, and more.
