The place to be where water, animals and fun come together
Created by Thom
The Reef Aquarium is not the biggest building in Niörd Seafari, nor is it an architectural masterpiece. But that does not mean it's not worth a visit. In this one buidling you can meet almost 50% of all the animals species Niörd has given a home.
Come in and explore the wonders of the coral reef. Different sections represent different parts of the oceans, each with there very own animals. From tiny, colorful fish to the gigantic whale shark; all can be admired. If you manage to find them at least. All aquariums are filled with live coral, bundles of sea weed and kelp, and artificial rocks; providing thousands of hiding places for all those wonderful creatures.
And while you're at it: don't forget to take a look at the biggest star of the building. One large tank, exclusively for one single species, placed in the very center of the Reef Aquarium. Meet our greater blue-ringed octopus.
So? What are you waiting for? Come inside!
