Akvariet

Akvariet Review

Here you will see one of the largest collections of North Sea fish and invertebrates in Europe, as well as tropical saltwater and freshwater fish. The aquarium has 60 tanks and two outdoor pools with seals, and penguins. Visit at feeding time, when the seals show off the skills they've learned both in and out of the water. Tanks inside are filled with schools of colorful tropical fish as well as Norwegian salmon and common eels, which tend to wrap around each other. There is also a section with alligators from different parts of the world on display.The Aquarium: Bergen and the Local Coastline—a 360-degree video directed by one of Norway's most beloved animators, the late Ivo Caprino—is shown every hour, as is SOS Planet, a 3-D film that you watch with special glasses. The aquarium is on Nordnes Peninsula, a 20-minute walk from the fish market. You can also get to it by taking Bus 11 or the ferry from the fish market.
