    It’s a tiny aquarium, but you can really see the care of the staffs here. The mirrors are also clear as being wiped by the staff, the tank was also wiped when there’s water droplets (you can touch animals in this tank). The displays in each tank is nice too, I can really look at the details on the fish’s body, it’s a lot better than many aquarium that create too much distance between us and the fish. I don’t know about other days, but today 11:00 they were feeding fish, and I got to feed too! If you love aquarium, I think you should visit.

    Very nice aquarium, not very big but a lot to see. Very friendly staff. The employee asked if we wanted to see the feeding of the fish. Also very nice for children, you can touch a lot. Easy to find and good free parking options.

    Warning: this is a very small aquarium. Having said that, if you like fish and have some time to spare it's a nice place. Very cozy actually

    Charming little aquarium where you can see and touch a few sea creatures. Don’t go in expecting something huge, the moment we went in we were told that this is Denmark’s smallest aquarium, but that didn’t take away from how cool and cozy this felt. It was included in the Copenhagen Card, so we went there and had a blast for 30 minutes, plus, touching fish, crabs and other sea creatures was super cool.

    Nice little Aquarium with all danish species and small ponds where the kids can touch and play with fish, seaweed, crabs and molluscs. Please expect it to be a small aquarium.

    Very good experience : super friendly staff who takes time to explain during the fish feeding session. And the « cherry on the cake » : the crab fishing in the outdoor aquarium. 👌 👍 👌 👍

    Tiny, cozy aquarium. It is very small but they offer amazing interactive activities every hour, like feeding the fish and other creatures habituating the aquarium. Beside this, there is a fun catching crab activity, where kids can catch some of the crabs and then release them in special outdoor basin where they live and are fed by staff.

    Was on top of my list to visit attractions in helsinor as a fish keeper and I must say it amazed me, especially the jelly fish they were beautiful. The aquariums are diverse and reasonably populated. Very friendly staff and an exciting place to visit for kids.

    Best aquarium I’ve seen in my life, better than acquario di Genova, a lot of fish that you can touch, big variety of local fish, super recommended to go there is you are visiting the castle near by, I’ve spent a lovely afternoon there

    Small but interesting museum with a lot of interaction for kids. We even did go crab hunting which was a lot of fun. Also the staff was very kind. Museum was included in Copenhagen Card.

    Aquarium exceeded expectations. While it is rather small it has plenty of interesting species. Great that it has focus on local ones. Child liked it as well.

  • 4/5 Katrien De G. 2 years ago on Google
    Small but very nice. Staff was very friendly. And a ticket is valid all day long so we spend some time in the aquarium, then went out to eat, to visit the maritime museum and then came back to see the feeding of the fish.
