Den Blå Planet, the National Aquarium Denmark, is surrounded by water, giving visitors the sense of being beneath the surface of the ocean. The architecture is inspired by a whirlpool and consists of five ‘arms’ that encircle the entire planet – from the bird colonies on the steep fells of the Faroe Islands to the stunning coral reefs of the world’s oceans.
Enjoy a close encounter with hammerhead sharks and rays, as they swim towards you in the amazing underwater tunnel. Unleash your inner water baby in the Water Playground and give it all you’ve got with the pumps and locks. The physical activity and cooperation will give you a greater understanding of water. Alternatively, try your hand in the more traditional playground with its climbing frames, turning bars, and slides. You can also explore the Tropical Rainforest and discover fluttering butterflies, ferocious piranhas, and the arapaimas, the largest freshwater fish in the world.
A visit to Den Blå Planet, National Aquarium Denmark is a unique experience, in which entertainment, fascination, and knowledge come together in a spectacular setting. The Aquarium is CO2-neutral and equipped with low-energy windowpanes and a seawater cooling system, both of which reduce energy consumption. With its range of information and educational activities, Den Blå Planet, National Aquarium Denmark encourages both staff and visitors to be more environmentally conscious.
