Il programma nel dettaglio

At SEA LIFE Oberhausen, the largest German SEA LIFE aquarium, visitors of all ages can cast unique insights into the life underwater without getting their feet wet: from local rivers to the fascinating biodiversity of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the dazzling life of the Amazon. An impressive journey from the Rhine to the tropical waters. Majestic turtles can be discovered as well as rays, seahorses, jellyfish and piranhas. The lively pair of otters is a special highlight: visitors might spot the couple juggling with pebbles.



The largest German SEA LIFE aquarium with more than 45 tanks and over two million liters of water also houses the largest shark nursing facility in Germany. In the 148m² large shallow water pool, visitors can marvel at the babies of blacktip reef sharks and cat sharks, among others. When visiting the unique 360-degree view underwater dome, visitors can also catch a glimpse of the youngest offspring.



The redesigned mangroves theme area represents the natural nursery for sharks as well as the birthplace and feeding place for marine animals. Since mainly small shark species use mangroves as a hide-out, SEA LIFE Oberhausen informs the visitors about the protection and preservation of these endangered plants.



Don’t miss out the daily feedings, where it can often get wild: what is our rays' favorite food and what do baby sharks eat? Our aquarists answer all questions about the diverse sea creatures and provide interesting facts and background information during the exciting feeding shows.
