This aquarium shows life in freshwater (rivers, lakes, ponds..) and their surroundings. Apart from that, it also has displays that focus on the region and the longest river in Denmark (Gudenaa). A large family-based play area completes everything nicely.

At AQUA you will learn about animals living in freshwater. Bring your family, regardless age, they will all enjoy. As AQUA is both inside and outside, bring suitable clothes.
