North Sea Oceanarium
Experience Northern Europe's largest aquarium
The North Sea Oceanarium in Hirtshals offers exciting and educational experiences for the whole family - all year round and in all weathers. Here you can explore 10,000 square metres of indoor and 6,000 square metres of outdoor areas filled with life below sea level.
More than 7,000 marine animals
With over 75 aquariums and more than 7,000 fish and marine animals, you can experience everything from curious seals and elegant rays to schooling fish, sharks and - at times - the impressive sunfish. The large Oceanarium contains a whopping 4.5 million litres of seawater and gives you a fantastic sense of the ocean depths.
Fun and educational activities
Visit the touch pool where you can touch a starfish or crab and get close to the big sea creatures via the interactive Big Ocean Window screen. In the Whale Explorer Cabin, children and adults can learn about the life of whales and the daily seal feedings are a hit with young and old alike.
Lots of play and movement
Outdoors, large playgrounds and fun activities await - catch crabs, climb on a sperm whale and explore life as a marine animal. The North Sea Oceanarium is a place where play, learning and experiences go hand in hand.
Eat well and take home memories
The restaurants serve freshly caught fish and simple, healthy dishes with local ingredients. You can also enjoy your own packed lunch in cosy surroundings. In the shop "Pakhuset" you'll find everything from books and gifts to souvenirs so you can take a piece of the experience home with you.
