İzmir Funtastic Aquarium
İzmir Funtastic Aquarium is an important example of the potential impact of shopping-mall and attraction partnerships, bringing an immersive marine destination into the heart of a retail environment in İzmir, Türkiye. Across 56 concept exhibits — from a walkthrough tunnel and a vibrant coral reef to atmospheric cave habitats and Polynesian moai-themed tanks — visitors are drawn into a richly themed underwater world. ADEC delivered the aquarium within a 3,000 m² closed area, holding 1.3 million litres of water behind acrylic panels up to 6 × 3 m and a 21-metre walkthrough tunnel — and continues to run the facility as its operator.
Aquarium design, acrylic supply and installation, underwater and dry-side theming, and life support system manufacturing and installation across 56 concept exhibits — with ADEC also operating the facility day to day.
