Fodor's Expert Review Atlanterhavsparken

Teeming with aquatic life, this is one of Scandinavia's largest aquariums. Right on the ocean, 3 km (2 miles) west of town, the park emphasizes aquatic animals of the North Atlantic, including anglers, octopus, and lobster. The Humboldt penguins are popular with children. After your visit, have a picnic, hike, or take a refreshing swim at the adjoining Tueneset Park. To get here, take the Aquarium Bus (marked "Akvariebussen") from St. Olav's Plass between April and October.
