AQUA Ferskvands Akvarium og Museum
North Europe's largest freshwater aquarium is called "the inside-out aquarium." Now just what does that mean? The circular building is placed in the waters of the lake, which makes it a reverse aquarium, with you inside it. Through the large seascape windows, you can look into the lake and watch both fish and water plants. In a beautiful park at AQUA, you can observe bird life with plenty of beavers around to amuse you. We forego the ferocious pikes to find fun with the diving ducks.
The spookiest part is called "The Bog," a dark, mysterious place where the big carp dwells, as does the tench and the elusive eel. Rare European otters can be seen hunting live fish in "The Otter Lake." One section, "The Darkness of the Night," is devoted to nocturnal animals that come out in moonlight, especially the Danish owl. This section also boasts AQUA's largest indoor aquarium with its "dancing eels," along with zander, sturgeon, crayfish, and the freshwater turbot. Another section of the park is set aside for children where they can actually feel the big sturgeon, carp, flounder, or other fish. You can have lunch or picnic in the park or pay a visit to the AQUA Café.
