The symbol of Shimoda Aquarium is the Aquadome Perry, a circular aquarium ship moored in a natural cove. The 1,300-ton vessel houses a large 600m3 tank, showcasing the diverse fish, invertebrates, and seaweed of the Izu Sea. The floating stage and marine stadium offer up-close views of dolphin and sea lion performances, while other exhibits, including the jellyfish "Clarium," the penguin panoramic pool, and the Asian small-clawed otter and seal exhibits, offer both photogenic and educational experiences.

Popular among experience-seekers are the "Dolphin Beach," where visitors can interact with dolphins from the sand, and the full-scale snorkeling and diving programs.

In addition to dolphins, there are many other fascinating experiences, including sea lion and seal shows and Asian small-clawed otter feeding.
