Hands on with the fish

It’s not a very large Aquarium but it’s got lots going on. It’s well worth a visit if you happen to be in North Zealand. Not many Aquariums where you get to touch the fish and feed them.

Tiny but Surprising

Oresundsakvariet is a small aquarium 10 minutes’ walk from the castle in Helsingor and a great place to spend just over 40 minutes. There are 3 main tanks one of which has fish you can touch. The amount of sea animals is truly astonishing. The...More

Small, great, arrive early!

This aquarium is only small but there are heaps of staff who speak perfect English and they are only too willing to share their knowledge to tell you about the displays. The highlight was the touch-pools where you can handle the starfish, flatfish, crabs and...More

Very small aquarium.

1 star, not because it is terrible, but it is really small. It is fine to go there after you visit the castle in Helsingor, but don't expect too much.

Tiny aquarium, but such a wonderful place.

This is a quite small aquarium and you can see it all in less than an hour. But it is definitely worth visiting. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable - maybe because the museum is run by the University of Copenhagen...

Not worth the money spent

We went there for our 4 years daughter. It was a short and expensive experience. Not same price like Blue planet, but 65 DKK/adult and 45 DKK/kid was too much for what they offering. They have something around 20 fish tanks from which 30% are...More
