Sylt Aquarium, Public aquarium in Westerland, Germany.
The Sylt Aquarium contains 25 display tanks housing over 1,000 marine creatures from the North Sea and tropical waters in one million liters of seawater.
Established in 2004, this marine facility on Sylt Island has developed into a primary educational institution for understanding North Sea ecosystems and marine conservation.
The aquarium organizes daily feeding demonstrations at 3 PM, where marine biologists explain the behaviors and characteristics of different aquatic species.
Located within walking distance from Westerland hotels, the aquarium opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM and accepts both cash and card payments.
A 20-meter glass tunnel allows visitors to walk beneath swimming sea lions, catsharks, and other marine species in their natural behaviors.

Schleswig-Holstein combines historic structures with varied natural landscapes between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The region encompasses castles such as Glücksburg and Plön, medieval monasteries including Cismar and Nütschau, and museums spanning from Viking times to maritime history. Visitors find the Hedeby Viking Museum, Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, and the historic Ratzeburg Cathedral. The natural areas extend from beaches at Pelzerhaken and Rosenfelder Strand to the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and moorland at Kaltenhofer Moor. The Geltinger Birk Nature Reserve and wildlife parks at Eekholt and Arche Warder display native flora and fauna. The Kiel Canal, lighthouses at Westerhever and Amrum, and the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning document the importance of the coastal region.
