An interactive aquarium is coming to Sunland Park Mall

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- By spring of 2024, the Sunland Park Mall will have a lively new addition in one of its storefronts. Jungle Reef, an interactive aquarium, will be taking over the spot where Old Navy used to be.

Visitors will be able to view Black Tip Reef Sharks, Bearded Dragons, otters, Burmese Pythons, and stingrays. In some of the exhibits, guests will actually be able to touch the critters.

The new aquarium was announced on April 28, 2023. You can stay up to date with Jungle Reef's progress by following their Instagram page.
