After paying the entrance fee we first take a look at the oceans of the world, an exhibition about the biological diversity of the oceans. The next floor is about the baltic sea and its creatures. First in the third area we meet livinng animals, all from the Baltic Sea. Among others you meet the moon jelly and the European Sea Sturgeon. The next floor shows how man is using the oceans and how we learn more and more about this almost unknown area of the planet. Following are aquariums with fish from the Northern Sea and the northern Atlantic Ocean. Here we meet species like the Europes seabass and the Wolffish. Heading foor the roof we have the children area as well as the Hunboldt Penguins. The last exhibition is about the giants of the oceans.
