Havets hus, Public aquarium in Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.
Havets Hus is a public aquarium in a coastal town featuring marine species in large tanks filled directly with water from the North Sea and Gullmarsfjorden. The tanks allow visitors to observe hundreds of fish species and other marine organisms in conditions close to their natural habitats.
The facility opened in 1993 and has served as an educational center focused on marine research from its start. Over the years it has developed and supported breeding programs for local aquatic species.
The place reflects the region's deep connection to the sea and fishing traditions that have shaped coastal life for generations. You will notice how the focus on marine life mirrors what locals have always depended on.
The facility is open almost the entire year and accepts card payments plus local digital payment methods. Guided tours are included in admission fees and help visitors understand the exhibits better.
A distinctive feature is an underwater tunnel where visitors walk and watch fish like rays, cod, and conger eels swim overhead and beside them. This experience brings visitors much closer to the animals than viewing from outside the tanks.
