Lofoten Aquarium has 1 rating.
The Lofoten Aquarium, located in Kabelvåg, Norway, offers visitors an insight into the marine life of the North Atlantic. The aquarium houses a variety of local fish species and marine creatures, providing an educational experience about the ecosystem of the Lofoten archipelago. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to see native species up close, including cod, halibut, and wolf fish. The seal pool is often mentioned as a highlight, where visitors can observe these animals in a simulated natural environment. The aquarium's efforts in conservation and education are generally well-regarded. However, some visitors note that the facility is relatively small and may feel dated compared to more modern aquariums. The exhibits are informative but might benefit from updates or expansion. While the aquarium provides a good overview of local marine life, some visitors find the entry fee a bit high for the size of the facility. Despite these drawbacks, many find the Lofoten Aquarium to be a worthwhile stop, especially for families and those interested in learning about the region's marine biodiversity.
