Aquarium Device
The building of the marine zoo, as it is also called, is located on two tiers. The first - a pool, located in a circle, which inhabit the inhabitants of the Atlantic Ocean, the North and the Mediterranean Sea. The second tier is placed at the disposal of various amphibians, reptiles and arachnids.
Immediately there is a penguinarium, where black and white flightless birds warm their belly in the sun, and from the lower tier it is clearly visible how, having soaked on land, they dive into the depths of the pool.
In the widest aisles there are tables that can be rented for children's birthday, corporate or business meetings. From all sides an impressive spectacle of the marine fauna opens up. In total, the Aquarium consists of 42 small and 9 large swimming pools, as well as 3 open water bodies filled with sea water.
Who lives in the Aquarium?
Seals, penguins, cod and exotic neon fish - this is far from a complete list of marine life of the Aquarium basins in Bergen. The most famous residents here are the Philippine crocodiles, which are now on the verge of extinction. Both children and adults adore watching them. It is especially interesting to come here during the feeding, and dinner with penguins is a real show.
How to get to the Aquarium?
The longest time to the Aquarium from Bergen will have to get on the highway C. Sundts gate and Strandgaten. The journey takes 9 minutes, and faster through Haugeveien - in 6 minutes. You can get there either on a rented car (there is a paid parking lot) or by taxi.
