Oceanarium
The term oceanarium is not well defined. It can either mean a marine mammal park such as Marineland of Florida or a large-scale aquarium presenting an ocean habitat with marine animals, especially large fish (e.g. sharks).
Marineland of Florida, one of the first theme parks in Florida, USA, started in 1938, claims to be "the world's first oceanarium".
