Diving without getting wet is possible at the OZEANEUM Stralsund. Scientific exhibitions have been combined with breathtaking aquariums. Particularly impressive is the world's largest exhibition on whales, with replicas of the sea giants in their original size, such as a 26 m long blue whale. A multimedia show conveys special features and information about the endangerment of whales.
In addition to the exhibitions, the "Sea for Children" adventure area invites you to play and relax in a dune landscape with a lighthouse slide. On the roof terrace there is a spacious penguin enclosure with a panoramic view of the silhouette of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Stralsund.
The thematic route through the northern seas with 50 aquariums, some of them huge, is unique. The two acrylic panels offer over 80 square meters of viewing area on two levels, showing various shark and ray species as well as silvery shimmering schools of fish. In Europe's largest Baltic Sea exhibition, museum visitors can expect exciting insights into the habitat of grey seals, sea eagles and tiny plankton. An extraordinary tunnel aquarium is dedicated to the island of Heligoland, through which visitors can walk.
