　　Tianjin Haichang Polar Ocean World is composed of nine major exhibition areas: the Polar Animal Zone, Marine Animal Zone, Underwater World, Waterless Ocean, Shark Zone, Coral Zone, Jellyfish Zone, Science Education & Interactive Zone, and the Performance Arena (Happy Theater).

　　Over 130 polar and marine animals of various sizes and species, including beluga whales, dolphins, polar bears, penguins, Arctic foxes, Arctic wolves, walruses, and sea lions, along with more than 30,000 marine fish and creatures, are gathered here. The massive underwater tunnel immerses you in the mysterious polar deep-sea world. Taking photos with or feeding the beluga whales in the interactive zone makes visitors feel as if they are in a dreamy polar ocean. The wonderful performances by dolphins, sea lions, and the newly joined members—two false killer whales—are humorous, entertaining, and awe-inspiring, offering visitors a refreshing and joyful experience.
