    The aquarium is on the smaller side, but very interesting and informative. All the information in the aquarium is translated to English but some in the 2nd floor was not. Learned a lot about conservation and environmental issues from the exhibits in the 2nd floor, as well as ongoing and needed research in this field. Ticket is included in the entrance fee for Skansen. Not to be confused with Skansen Akvariet, also in nearby location, which is privately managed and required additional entrance fee.

    Nice to visit if you are at Skansen, but it’s barely fitting the description of an aquarium compared to those you can find in larger places. Only one of the floors (the bottom one) has actual fishes and a few other creatures (mussels, jellyfish, etc.), while the rest of the floors are informative about climate, exploration, etc.

    Große Auswahl an interessanten Fischarten. Leider sind einige Becken etwas karg. ZusĂ€tzlich gibt es noch eine Ausstellung ĂŒber Plastik, Chemikalien und Meeresverschmutzung. Bedauerlicherweise waren hier nur ein paar Sachen ins Englische ĂŒbersetzt. Alles in allem ein sehr schönes Aquarium mit interessanter Ausstellung. Wenn man im Skansen Park ist sollte man hier auf jeden Fall Mal vorbei schauen.

    Baltic Sea-themed aquarium and information center about Baltic Sea research. Free, worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Luciano Z. 7 months ago on Google ‱ 171 reviews
    A lovely place. The Aquarium itself is a bit small, but for kids is more than enough. There are exhibitions, videos and laboratories. The entrance is free.

    A place to visit when you're in Stockholm Also it's super nice for kids

  • 4/5 M 11 months ago on Google ‱ 50 reviews
    If you are interested in the life of the Baltic sea, you should visit this place. Also, it's better to track the schedule of events (lectures and labs) to learn more.

  • 5/5 Iva Z. 9 months ago on Google ‱ 47 reviews
    Nice Aquarium part and lots of interactive educational sites inside to represent information about the Baltic sea and how to preserve it.

  • 5/5 Jennie 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place for kids. Several floors with different things to look at or activities to do.

  • 5/5 Scott M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the cooler exhibitions in Skansen. The fish are not super exotic but its so cool to educate the kids and adults on Swedens local fish

  • 5/5 Jan K. 1 year ago on Google
    The aquariums were nice and they had a lot of interesting information on the top floors about oceans and nature in general.

  • 5/5 Marwan A. 11 months ago on Google
    Gives a succinct picture of what the baltic waters are like. Feels a bit quaint, like the first room of a giant aquarium, but it is in Skansen, the world's largest open air museum, so for what it sets out to offer, it's pretty great.

  • 4/5 Ryan F. 10 months ago on Google
    very nice. its not as expansive as you would think. the exhibition is only on the ground floor. exhibitions on other floors are of random items

  • 4/5 Warp5p1d3r 11 months ago on Google
    This is located with thin skansen. It's nice in there. Some weird Baltic fish and some educational bits on the upper floors.

  • 5/5 Ezekiel B. 8 months ago on Google
    –The Most Intentionally Queer-ified "Science Center" Ever? Nice aquaria. Yes. Its true. They're very nice. Cute local Jellyfish in incredibly small bottles; not sure how "humane" that is, but... There are wonderfully fantastical works of political propaganda disguised as "Climate "Science" everywhere on the upper floors; not sure how educational that is, nor how much veracity the "facts" actually contain. It's kind of like forcing the curious minds of clever, inquisitive children into procrustean bottles, really. Children deserve better than this tripe, hogswallop, and claptrap. If it's science then it's "Junk Science," well-disguised, nothing more than a tacky embezzlement scam, ultimately. There's little to gain here that's not political indoctrination. And mybe that's your thing, what you're looking for; a modern (Catholic sort-of stylized) existential guilt to force young people to go along with the tax scandal tithings of the Faith - Disguised - as - Science Cult of our Modern Times. But you don't even actually have children, do you? So you don't have any skin in the game, do you? Typical. But so why are you always so focused on minors? – Suspiciously weird, no? It's like your philanderous infertility and promiscuous barrenness ALWAYS needs to interfere with my children's innocence, health, perspicacity and natural development. – Villainous! Inquisitive children at the Baltic Sea Science Center are being taught how to vote (for the EU monoculture) against their own unique , independent good futures, it's terribly pernicious. It's collectivist rather than freedom-loving. Here you can find fascistic eugenicism disguised as Ichthyology, Marine Biology and Conservation. In reality it's a shrine to the suicidal ideology of a modern Child Sacrifice Cult. ABORT, ABORT, ABORT! It all might just look like fish swimming behind glass, but you'll get exactly what Brussels has already extorted from you. True conservationists protect fish in their natural environments because fish taste delicious. This place is not that, it's intentionally odd, At your expense. The Baltic Sea Science Center is a living contemporary museum that worships the death of classic liberalism. Highly recommended. See it before the money runs out. See it before it's gone. Wheelchair accessible. No gift shop, strictly ideological, fully funded somehow, mysteriously by you. No entrance fee, weirdly, considering the exquisite aquaria. No entrance fee. No gift shop. No entrance fee. No gift shop. "Science." Weird.

    (Translated by Google) Fun section for children to learn more about the sea and its animals in the Baltic Sea. This week (autumn break) they had opened up the lab which is normally only open to schools. Showed how they grew algae and told what was in different containers before they started looking in the micro cabinets, very instructive even for us adults (Original) Rolig avdelning för barnen för att lĂ€ra sig mer av havet och dess djur i Östersjön. Denna vecka(höstlov) hade dem öppnat upp labbet som normaltsĂ€tt Ă€r endast öppet för skolor. Visade hur dem odlade alger och berĂ€ttade vad som fanns i olika behĂ„llare innan dem började med att titta i mikroskĂ„pen, vĂ€ldigt lĂ€rorikt Ă€ven för oss vuxna

  • 4/5 John D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great display of fish wildlife in tanks and other exhibitions related to the sea. Shame you have to pay extra for the other aquarium.

  • 3/5 Ringolds L. 2 years ago on Google
    Less exhibitions then i expected for aquarium place

  • 4/5 Ruben D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great educative center to visit with the kids.

  • 4/5 Habibat 1 year ago on Google
    Quite entertaining and informative for everyone. There are different exhibitions and also a part of the center that make one feel like you are underwater. It was quite cool and a whao factor for the kids.

  • 4/5 Malin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy atmosphere. Spacious, informative and plenty to see and explore. Here you can see the most common fishes in Sweden (if not all?) and learn more about them and their environment. And there's no extra charge to enter!

  • 4/5 Rach W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful small exhibits with varying Baltic Sea organisms and great information on them. Lost a star due to the importance placed on individual actions in order to mitigate climate change. Though these actions are great if feasible for the individual, systemic change by corporations and governments are much more important. The sustainably goals were mentioned but not as much as I would have liked. Very little focus on local solutions, mitigation, and adaptation. As someone studying environmental science, I was slightly disappointed to see the science center focusing on teaching young people that their individual choices at the grocery store for example are integral to climate safety. More focus should be placed on systemic change and I would hope parts of the exhibits that say things such as the farmer grows the food, but you make the choice are incorrect and place blame upon both farmers and individuals for climate disasters and pollution. Corporations often control how farmers can farm and as individuals we must pay more in order to get ecologically friendly products, and research each one to make sure they are not saying that just for marketing purposes. I wish more of the system we live in now was explained as young kids will have to deal with these problems and telling them buying seemingly sustainable fish is not the best. Sorry for that rant, I just loved the exhibit until the top floor.

  • 4/5 DexTruong A. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty cool experience. One part talks about fish and marine animals the other part just talk about climate problems and polution. The first part is pretty nice for kids because children kinda like fishes. But the other part is pretty boring for children it is more like directed for older people or people who want to solve climate problems. Pretty neet.

  • 5/5 Lynette H. 1 year ago on Google
    The most baby friendly museum in Stockholm to date. Wonderful quiet spaces. 180 degree water tunnel.

  • 4/5 Abdelnaser E. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a nice and educating place but I expected to see more information about the fishes
