Gardaland SEA LIFE Aquarium

Discover the secrets of the oceans

Part of Italy’s largest amusement park called Gardaland is the Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium where old and young can explore the mystery of the seven seas. In differently themed sections the natural habitats of numerous marine animals were reconstructed. Through these reconstructions children as well as adults can learn about the true nature of sharks, how sea horses procreate and many more interesting facts about the depths of the ocean.

Highlights at Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium

One of the many highlights at Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium is for example the Turtle Paradise. Here you can see real freshwater turtles and learn a lot about their 200 million year long evolution.

Another highlight would be the walk through the Ocean Tunnel. This little passageway passes through a large basin with glass walls. Lots of marine animals and even sharks can be seen here from all angles. In total Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium is home to over 100 different species of sea life. Ever since the movie “Finding Nemo” hit cinemas you can also see and admire the small Anemone-fishes or better known as Clown-fishes.
