Nina BjörkmanAugust 9, 2014We bought ticket online at home, got in fast lane and scanned the tickets from mobile. Neat! Great food at Øst, we tried fish and chips and Salad (115, 65 for kids and 75 DKK). Beverages around 30 DKKUpvote7DownvoteUpvoted Feb 8
Pablo KenneyFebruary 20, 2017Went late on Monday night and had a blast. Small enough to explore easily in a few very enjoyable hours. You can eat your own food in the picnic area, but the cafe is reasonably priced and delicious.

MuratFebruary 24, 2018Great for a weekend activity, and one of the places to visit as a tourist. Easy to access by metro. Copenhagen card provides free entrance. Good for both kids and adults.UpvoteDownvote
Pranav KadamJanuary 6, 2016Sharks, Pirahnas and Sea Otters. Blind fish, neon glow fish and cave fish. So many species! Good to visit for half a day or even full day if with kids.

MaxAugust 19, 2023Awesome place to visit. Every half hour storytellers are opening a new horizon to the visitors. The whole experience is a blast not only for the children.

Kinneret RosenbloomAugust 10, 2014A beautifully designed aquarium outside of the city. Great for rainy days. Buy tickets ahead, might be packed. Lunch is beautifully served with a view to the ocean. About 3 hours pastime.UpvoteDownvote
Jesse LiukkonenAugust 17, 2014A bit pricey for it's size and I recommend buying the tickets in advance online. On rainy sunday the queue was so long that we had to stand in the rain for a while. Loved the food at the eatery!UpvoteDownvote
Zsofia KoinbergSeptember 4, 2022Mermaid show every saturday at 2. If you have kids it’s a must. Get there 30 min before to get seats.

Amy MalespinNovember 7, 2014The Copenhagen card includes your entry to the aquarium so take advantage and make the commute! Don't forget to go outside and enjoy the spectacular ocean water views.UpvoteDownvote
Gregg HarperDecember 28, 2016Great aquariums... excellent food .. fish and chips were superb.... BUT why are all the announcements and presentations about the fish in Danish ??? Didn't understand a word !!UpvoteDownvote- SabinaDecember 29, 2014Entry is free with your Copenhagen card or buy tickets online for savings + fast track. Beautiful architecture outside and wonderful fish aquariums inside. Pack a lunch, there's an indoor picnic area.Upvote2Downvote
Janus DøssingSeptember 29, 2014160 Dkr for the entry. 100 Dkr for a pork sandwich. The fishtanks are stunning an so are most of its inhabitants. But the prices and the crowd makes it difficult to love the blue planet.UpvoteDownvote
Karl FridolfJuly 15, 2013Very nice aquarium, but heavily crowded @ 11 am on a sunny summer monday (> 1.5 hr waiting time). Went into Copenhagen city and returned @ 4 pm instead with no queuing.

Carola WüstApril 27, 2016Modern aquarium not only for rainy days: check out their terrace at the shore. And: they have a picnic-area inside.

Robert JensenNovember 11, 2015Well, it's fish and they are a bit boring... Fantastic architecture and the large aquarium is spectacular indeedUpvoteDownvote
You can easily go through it in two hours, unless you spend a long time at each small aquarium.Do not expect to spend an entire day there.UpvoteDownvote
Erwin WesselsJune 30, 2017Good for half a day with kids. Expensive for the value; the exhibition is nice but smaller than expected.
UpvoteDownvote- Mads PedersenMarch 26, 2013If you want the app companion, download it before you leave home. It is above 50mb so you can't download on iPhone unless on wifi network.UpvoteDownvote
Start by downloading the aquarium's app. It has useful information, todays program and a fun game.UpvoteDownvote
NaroaApril 15, 2013When buying tickets online, besides saving queue time, there is a 10% discount on the price. Really nice building by 3XN.UpvoteDownvote
Christina EriksenJuly 2, 2013Always buy tickets from home on their website, then you can take the fast track, when feet getting inUpvoteDownvote- Søren LouvNovember 28, 2015The sea otters are the highlight. But they are a bit difficult to sea compared to other aquariums.UpvoteDownvote
Shayan KamaalAugust 3, 2013It is great, but a little to high priced for the time one spends in the place. Public transport is a bit of a walk. Try to take the Metro as taxi charge up to DKK 250.UpvoteDownvote
Pedro Sendas PereiraMarch 27, 2013You should visit the lisbon oceanarium and see what a real aquarium is all about! ;-)UpvoteDownvote
