Why The Blue Planet (National Aquarium Denmark) matters
The building itself is designed to look like a whirlpool seen from above, and inside you move through habitats from freshwater lakes to tropical reefs and the deep ocean. The big open-tank displays feature sharks, rays and shoals of colourful fish, and there is a good children's area. It is close to the airport, so it is a handy stop before or after a flight.
Talking points
- The building is shaped like a whirlpool seen from above.
- Habitats range from lakes and rivers to reef and open ocean.
- It is a short ride from the airport.
