Green Connection in Kota Kinabalu offers tourists an interactive introduction to Sabah's marine and terrestrial biodiversity. Positioned just outside the city's center, it’s a conservation-focused aquarium and science discovery center where both children and adults can engage with native species. The layout, spanning several zones, showcases various ecosystems—rainforest, mangrove, coral reef, and open ocean exhibits. Each section highlights the species crucial to Sabah's ecosystem, with hands-on learning opportunities led by knowledgeable guides. Beyond the aquarium, Green Connection supports conservation initiatives, advocating for marine life protection and sustainable fishing practices. Visitors can view endangered species like sea turtles, vibrant coral reef inhabitants, and even local land-dwelling creatures. The ‘touch tanks’ provide a rare chance to safely interact with some marine life, fostering an appreciation for Sabah’s unique natural heritage.
