SEA LIFE Helsinki

Located in Finland's capital, SEA LIFE Helsinki is one of the largest aquariums in Northern Europe, housing over 100 species of marine life. Visitors can marvel at a variety of creatures, from vibrant coral reef fish to giant turtles, sharks, and Arctic marine species. The aquarium features interactive touch pools and a 360-degree underwater tunnel, making it an enjoyable experience for both parents and children. SEA LIFE Helsinki is dedicated to marine conservation education, offering regular guided tours and feeding shows to help visitors gain a deeper understanding of marine ecosystems. Conveniently accessible, it is just a 5-minute walk from Hakaniemi Station on the Helsinki Metro. Situated near the city’s waterfront, it is close to Market Square and the Design District, making it an ideal spot to explore alongside other attractions. To avoid crowds, visit on weekday mornings rather than weekends. Tickets can be booked online to reduce waiting times. The best time to visit is during summer (June to August) when the weather is pleasant, allowing for a light day of sightseeing in the city. While winter is cold, the indoor exhibits make it a suitable option for rainy days. Helsinki's well-developed public transport system, combined with the Helsinki Card, offers benefits for transportation and attractions. SEA LIFE Helsinki serves as an excellent starting point for understanding the Baltic Sea ecosystem.
