Description

The Atlantic Sea Park is one of the most particular aquariums in Northern Europe, and has been built into the coastal landscape at Tueneset, the coastline west in Ålesund. Study the large landscape tanks that show life in sea along the Norwegian coast and in the Atlantic Ocean and see what goes on in the skerries, in the depths of the Storfjord, under the docks, and in the saltwater currents.

Be fascinated by the hectic activity in the largest tank when the diver enters to hand-feed the fish everyday at 13 o'clock (from 20.June - 19.August  also at 15.30). During the weekends you can join in and feed the fish in the open pools at 15, and it is also possible to feed the crabs several times during the day throughout the year.

In the spacious outdoor area there is a separate penguin park. The penguins are being fed every day at 14.30.

The aquarium also has a cosy café where you can eat tasty snacks while you enjoy the exciting view. In the souvenir shop you'll find lots of items you can bring home as a memory of The Atlantic Sea-Park, and a stroll in the beautiful outdoors area will make the visit complete. Here you can explore a large area with places to swim, fish and dive, and great hiking paths.
