Usually a must-see place in new cities is the zoo or the oceanarium, but only the Blue Planet Aquarium in Copenhagen offers its visitors a truly huge size of the entire building, a unique architecture and a very large variety of fish and even exotic birds, so we recommend visiting it .
Excursion to the aquarium
"Blue Planet" is one of the largest oceanariums in Denmark , which is in the first place by this criterion in Northern Europe. It was opened relatively recently, in 2013, while the opening ceremony was attended by Queen Margrethe II and her husband Prince Henrik, which once again proves the greatness of this place. The house for 20 thousand various fish are as many as 53 aquariums with a total capacity of 7 million liters of water. In addition, visitors can admire exotic birds in the tropical zone, perhaps watch the fur seals, visit a souvenir shop and, of course, a cafe where you can refresh yourself during the long stay in the aquarium, as you will need more than one hour to to bypass all the inhabitants of this place.
In one part of the building you can observe the great variety of fish and even the huge aquarium "Ocean", in which the sharks reside, glare at visitors viciously, so stay away from the glass. The next room is a very hot "rainforest", in which there are cells with a lot of birds (some of them will brighten up your time with their singing), small waterfalls with fish and even snakes. For the entertainment of children there is a special place where they can touch all kinds of mollusks and other harmless inhabitants of the depths in a small aquarium. In the interior of the room itself is the decoration of the walls with mock-ups of fish, their description and useful information about the "kingdom of Poseidon". Separately it is worth mentioning that the main highlight of the aquarium is its architecture, since everything is built in the form of a whirlpool.
