    Marked it down by one star due the fact that we still had to queue despite having already purchased tickets. Would be good to have two queues, one for scanning and one for purchasing. Besides that: our girls loved it

    I highly recommended this place if you are planning to go somewhere fun & educational activities with kids. The place is small but it’s ok. Buy tickets online before you go and received your time. If your planning to go Herrenhäusern Garten you can buy both tickets with discount price.

    If you're looking for a fun and educational activity for the whole family, Sea Life Hannover is a must-visit. This aquarium is beautifully themed like a ship, with different fish and sea creatures to discover at every turn. It's the perfect spot for small kids and big families alike, as there's something for everyone to enjoy. One of the things I appreciated about Sea Life Hannover was the relaxed pace. It's definitely not a place to rush through - take your time exploring each aquarium and really soaking in the experience. You'll be amazed at the variety of creatures you'll see, from colorful tropical fish to fascinating sea turtles and even sharks! Overall, I highly recommend Sea Life Hannover. It's a great way to spend a few hours, and the educational value is a bonus. Kids will love seeing the different sea creatures up close, and adults will appreciate the attention to detail and beautiful theming. So take your time, enjoy the experience, and have fun!

    Clean, nice and good variety of sea life animals but don't expect much as the place not big and in busy times might be a problem but overall it is a good experience

    Most of the blood circulating in the vein consists of water. Blood carries the necessary oxygen for cells. If water consumption is insufficient, blood volume decreases, blood circulation rate slows down, blood thickens, arrhythmia develops, blood pressure decreases, fainting may occur due to low blood pressure. This reduces the amount of blood going to the heart and other organs, and the darkening of the blood vessels can cause occlusion. It facilitates the emergence of diseases such as heart attacks and strokes by causing blockages in thin vessels such as cerebral vessels and heart coronary vessels, which are especially vital.

    (Translated by Google) Was there with my family. Costs € 500, all well and good. A big trip was planned because it can cost money. But to spend this amount of money for SOWAS. The glasses soiled by the children's smear paws, not nice pictures. There wasn't much fun and joy either. Boring like anything else. I'm disappointed. For this money we could have bought a huge mecces menu, we would have had more. (Original) War mit meiner Familie dort. Kosten 500€ alles schön und gut. War ja großer Ausflug geplant da kann es mal Geld kosten. Aber für SOWAS Geld aus zu geben in dieser Höhe. Die Gläser beschmutzt von den schmierpfoten der Kinder, keine schönen Bilder. Großen Spaß und Freude gab es auch nicht. Langweilig wie sonst was. Ich bin enttäuscht. Für dieses Geld hätten wir ein riesen mecces Menü kaufen können, hätten mehr von gehabt.

    It was very busy so we weren’t able to see everything whilst we were there. The entry fee is also quite expensive for how much time you actually spend in there, but I also feel like it was more catered towards families with kids. The place is still very nice and clean and there are some fun things to do for kids. Also, buy tickets in advance as that saves you 2 euros!

    Nice aquarium, kids will love it. You will have one and a half hour of good time. There is a good connection with the train to the center so you can leave your car there parked.

  • 4/5 Sahana K. 1 year ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Nice place to visit. But little expensive. Small area to explore. Before going one should check online the booking slot. It is recommended to book before 3 days atleast. Small kids will definitely enjoy. There are different shows organised in different time. So if one want to see particular show such as meal time for crocodile or insect show, one should check the website before. I was expecting bit more from this but anyways it's ok. It took usually one hour to see everything completely. Shows may have 20 min extra time slot. Altogether 2 hrs time is good.

  • 5/5 Laura A. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place for the kids if you want to spend a rainy day indoors. Perfect for a couple of hours exploring the shipweck/ jungle. After Sea Life there are some cool walking trails and small cafés across the street to check out.

  • 5/5 krakeesh2012 1 year ago on Google
    Great place and amazing experience. You can interact with the animals. Great spot with and without kids. Worth the visit

  • 3/5 Carla B. 1 year ago on Google
    We were there last summer (2021) and I wasn’t really impressed. A bit small for the price they ask. I never had a wow effect feeling. It’s probably ok for bigger kids who could reale already.

  • 5/5 Ben B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great small aquarium with a great design and many wonderful tanks. Most things are in German only so it was difficult to take full advantage, but still worth the price. One of our highlights was the touch tank where shrimp happily jumped onto your hand for a free manicure!

    It was nice and interesting there were lots of different places that's really beautiful but in this price maybe can be better actually when it's finished all of us said is it the end??? Maybe for children it's more attractive.

  • 5/5 Serban R. 1 year ago on Google
    A magical place where you get closer with your heart and soul to the beautiful and mysterious aquatic world

  • 4/5 Bhakti S. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a amazing wonderful place to visit and explorer the animals present in the sea or ocean. If one have to see the coral reefs and sea animals through naked eye, then we have to go to sea and dive deep but the SEALIFE initiative have provided a platform to see the unseen organisms of Ocean. You can see sharks, different types of fish, colourful Coral reefs, Octopus etc. Further they have tropical rainforest forest and presence of lizards, frogs etc. At the end of the tour you can have some snacks in their restaurant

  • 2/5 Milica R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good things: nice souvenirs, couple of very exotic animals, creative content. Bad things: even though I bought ticket online, that did not save me time. You need to stand in a line to check your ticket and it took 20 minutes. Online it appears that there are tours every 30min, and you need to choose a time for your visit. We came earlier than we booked and nobody checked our booked time. Basically, if you come and pay they will let you in, regardless the tour reservation, which makes all of the steps on the website unnecessary. There was no place for us to leave heavy bags and jackets, nor for everybody else. This means that if you are a tourist like us, you will need to carry all of your bags around. You can freely walk back and forth between the rooms which creates a confusion where to go next, or did you miss something. Also this allows children to run around and play, and their parents are chasing them which creates a total anarchy. If you planned like us to go there to get some rest, it is impossible. 99% of content and signs are in German. If you don't know it you are doomed. Very low oxygen in the air. Your head can start hurting and I had a panic attack because I was surrounded by many people and they where all moving very slowly through entire place. There is no indication on how far away you are from the exit. Totally random botanical garden. I thought it was called SEA LIFE?! Kids are stuck on the glass and if you really wish to see animals you will need to wait a lot of time for them to move. It was overcrowded, and it ruined the potentially good experience...

    Buy tickets online before you go. They might be sold out. We went on Sunday and it was full of kids. There were almost more kids than adults 😄 Pretty small place, there are mini games for kids everywhere. Too expensive in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Fumani K. 3 years ago on Google
    Been there a few times, always amazing. The best thing me for me was in summer, you find people doing sports and just hanging out. Best place to be with friends and family.

  • 5/5 Eva T. 4 years ago on Google
    The best place to spend time on a day off, get new adventurous experiences and help sea animals on the go❤

  • 3/5 Thomas F. 4 years ago on Google
    It's OK for a short trip. We did spend about an hour there. It can get quite crowded in there since visitors gather around the few aquariums. Employees are very helpful and try to answer any upcoming questions to the best of their knowledge.

  • 5/5 Rebeca T. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is beautiful! My kid had so much fun here! Here people of all ages can enjoy tis aquarium. We go there many times a year. I recommend you to buy the tickets online because they can be a little cheaper, but the fast pass is something i never saw i need to get. Huge variety of ocean animals, the feedings are very educational, the staff is super friendly and (they help you find animals you are not easy to spot like the the chameleon and answer any questions if you see them around) some of them even speak English. The shop has great, fun and educational gifts. The plushies are just adorable and magnets were awsome! They have a little coffee for you to eat some foods, snacks, drinks and with chais. Just heads up, the Amazon part can be a little too humid and if you have jackets can be hot. To be disabled (like on wheelchairs) might be too hard to go thru some places, they probably have but i didn’t see any access...
