SEA LIFE Oberhausen

This is a really nice aquarium in downtown Oberhausen. It's mainly geared towards a younger crowd (namely children), but it's still great for adults to accompany.

The place is nice and clean and there's quite a bit of sea life to see throughout.

On top of that, the staff is very knowledgeable and is happy to answer questions you may have about the various species that are on display.

The whole aquarium is well laid out and easy to get through, and takes about 1 hour if you're moving quickly to 2 hours if you are really going through super slowly.

There's tons of activities, hands on displays, and interesting things to do along the way, so it never gets boring at anytime.

I would highly recommend this place for young children. They will love it and you will likely learn something while you're there too.

The only negative is that the gift shop is pretty terrible. It's basically all stuffed animals, with no books or anything to further your learning. That was a big disappointment.

What can I say.... Fantastic... It's far better than the one in Great Yarmouth...it's larger and it has far more sea Animals...which surprised me as Great Yarmouth is by the sea .... Staff are friendly and the animals seem to be well looked after ....10 stars from the Family we all loved it ... I can definitely recommend this establishment.

The sharks caught me by surprise, a lot of them, a wonderful learning experience for the kids and more fun than I was expecting. Highly recommended

Interesting, especially for kids, but I was expecting something bigger, especially for this price. It has a nice shop thou.

Great for kids and adults alike. There was a wide range of fish to keep the little ones amused and many questions followed which the staff offered great answers to. Lifts to allow disabled and push chairs up and down the floors. A restaurant over looking a few tanks. A little pricey but very good food. And a gift shop at the end of the walk

Very nice place to go with the kids. Large aquarium with many fish species and a lot of sharks! Cafeteria (fast food), restrooms, merchandise and photo booth. English speaking staff, very friendly and helpful. Even though in some areas the air is not properly ventilated and some painting is crumbling but by far the Best Open Sea experience in this area of Europe.
