Atlantic Sea-Park, Public aquarium in Ålesund, Norway.
Atlantic Sea-Park is a public aquarium in Ålesund that displays marine life from the Norwegian coast in large landscape tanks. Water flows through the facility from the Atlantic Ocean using a natural filtration system.
The facility was designated in 2019 by the Norwegian government as the country's first marine science center. This recognition established a new standard for marine research and education in Norway.
The facility shows visitors how connected Norwegian people are to the ocean through educational displays and live demonstrations. This helps guests understand the relationship between the sea and daily life in coastal communities.
The aquarium is easily accessible with parking nearby and facilities for visitors of various ages and abilities. A café with ocean views is located on-site along with outdoor water play areas for families.
The facility houses Europe's largest seal pool equipped with an underwater observation window. Visitors can watch these animals swim and dive up close, which is a rare viewing experience.
