About

Meet the sea lions, the creepy - but great crocodiles, fish and the fascinating snakes at Bergen Aquarium. Film screening and feeding daily.

About

After a visit to the Aquarium, you’ll definitely know something you didn’t beforehand. In more than 60 large and small aquariums you can watch in fascination all the weird and wonderful things that go on beneath the surface at close quarters. In addition to getting to know the cod, and all the other creatures that live along the Norwegian coast, you can meet animals like crocodiles, snakes, lizards and common marmosets in our tropical section.

At the Aquarium you will find:

• Sea lions, snakes, penguins and more.
• Film shows and feedings every day.
• The strangest creatures from the tropical rainforest, the beaches in Norway, the vast oceans and the Arctic regions.
• Good food made from quality ingredients at "Spiseriet Akvariet"

At Bergen Aquarium, children and adults alike can see, read about and follow the animals and aquarium keepers at close range. You can watch feedings and see how fish and animals act when in their element.

Have a great experience at the Aquarium!

Too small, too expensive

I am from Bergen and have been to the aquarium earlier. I must say that it has stagnated and is not worth the money. If you have been to the larger aquariums in European cities or the USA you will be... Read full review

Small aquarium; worth a trip if you have the Bergen Card

If you’re used to big, major city aquariums, don’t think it’s that. It’s a nice little place with some interesting bits (sea lions and otters a highlight) but can be done in an hour or so. 100... Read full review
