Den Blå Planet, National Aquarium Denmark Reviews

Alot to see. generally enjoyable. Sound on animal feedings not so good.

Way to small, not really anything interesting. The otters were cute, and that's about it. Not worth the money what so ever.

We had a fantastic day with the family. Afordable costs present a bunch of aquaristic highlights. Top feature is the walk through seawater aquarium with big sharks, groper and stingrays. Our son had a unique day with a beautiful playground and touch the fish. Restaurant is all good. I highly recommend a visit that shoult take at least 3 hours.

Unique experience! Fantastic aquarium! I could not even imagine that such a place really exists!

Very friendly staff and a nice place and walk around

Very interesting but much too small for the price! Longer drive from Copenhagen than you are effectively inside ..

I would say it's one of the best aquarium with lots of marine life under one dome.

If you have a Copenhagen card, I recommend you to take a look. If you have kids, you have to go unconditionally.

Great places I come back here every time I come to Copenhagen

Amazing aquarium! Had a great time, loved the otters

The Danish national aquarium "the blue planet" is the most beautiful aquarium we have seen so far. Alone the unusual architecture with the 5 star-shaped arms is already an eye-catcher. Admission to the aquarium is quite expensive in itself, but included in the Copenhagen Card (which is definitely worth it). We were there relatively soon in the morning and during the week, even there we had to stand in line, so the aquarium is (rightly) very well visited.
,
Inside the star-shaped building, you will be guided through various worlds of experience in the 5 arms of the complex, where you can marvel at various marine creatures and exotic animals. A special highlight is the ocean basin in the middle of
4 million liters of sea water Hammerheads, rays and morays frolic. Through the pool also leads an underwater tunnel. In the Amazon area, under a waterfall, there is Piranhas, Anacondas
and to discover alligators. The outdoor area around the aquarium offers a unique and truly gorgeous view of the Baltic Sea.

The blue planet is definitely one of the places to visit during a Copenhagen stay.

I'm a big fan of seeing animal and here I sure did see quite many. The place offers 3 different sections with lots of mini events (feeding, octupus dissection, ...). They have a tunnel through the biggest aquarium and the kids can search for stuffed animals and win a year ticket. The canteen is quite expensive and the fish and chips is more chips than fish but the huge sea otters and the "petting zoo" made up for that. It was a great afternoon I really enjoyed.

Lots to see and agree with the previous evaluation. A bit small pools, but worth a visit.

Exceptional aquarium. Great variety of fish and animals on display, divided by type of environment.
There is also a realistic reproduction of the rainforest.
In addition, there are lots of exciting activities for children!

Amazing building, very nice aquaria inside, but they do not deviate from the line. We also dreamed of starfish and crabs in the cool aquarium ... The big aquarium with a glass tunnel is very nice too ...

Great building, large accessable displays with helpful staff. Fantastic views from the cafe outside.

Nice day out place. But as a tourist, from the airport nearby, it is ideal to visit immediately after landing, or before your next flight out.
Kids and adults will appreciate.

Very beautiful and big. Great food in the restaurant! Highly recommended!

Relatively quite expensive, taken into account of the size and the exhibitions. I personally adore the tropical rain forest zone.

Very nice, I personally liked it very much, it is very close to the airport so there are many means of public transport to get there. A wide variety of fish species, corals, is very beautiful and outdoors, is located by the sea has beautiful treasures for rest, coffee or for dining. If you arrive in Copenhagen it is worth seeing.

Bold place for family with young children and foot place of relaxation. This year's subscription is not that expensive.

Outstanding with children thought thought it was bigger

The Genoa aquarium makes him a mustache in comparison.
Small and with 4 aquariums placed on the cross.
Let's say that if you have a house in the center like me, making 20-30m with the means to get there and also pay the entrance, it's really bad money.

Magic building, which makes us stand with the fish. We have a great diversity of animals and a great aquarium to appreciate the interaction between the various living beings.

An amazing aquarium, but go early to be there before the families with small children

Great trip for anyone with kids...or a pronounced interest in fish.

Everything is high quality, with none of the ethical issues involving any whales, dolphins, etc which you might find elsewhere. The cafe also serves the best chips (fries, that is) I've found so far in Denmark.

The only (slight) critique is that you'll probably get through, and done, in less than an hour. However, a lovely playground out the back extends things for those kids who love to play with water gadgets.

Wonderful place, great to go with the kids. In addition to an immense variety of aquatic animals, it also has a greenhouse that simulates the rainforest. It has space for picnic and play ground.

Top. This aquarium is worth every penny. If you are in Copenhagen drive. We spent 2 very interesting hours there. The child was blown away and could not stand it out of amazement.
Highly Recommended.

A wonderful experience. Quiet and quiet you can see the wonder of nature the boat under and over. Daily water elevation.

A place to be. Huge sea aquarium with great sharks, stingrays, and many more.

Best aquarium in northern Europe
Super place and divided up in sections and therefore feel roomier than normal aquarium. Recommend the shark feeding

I was alone but the experience was still great, amazing diversity. The only thing missing were some Pacific fish. Very informative and it wasn't that expensive either. Probably the best exhibition was the Amazonian one, the birds were very pretty and that giant fish was really fricking impressive. I found the part were you could touch some fish to be a way too stressful environment ,but what do I know I'm not a marine biologist.

Great aquarium near the sea. New species (sharks, otter..). Very small. The external architecture is awesome, specially at night

Nice place, a shame it is not maintained, it looks worn out

Poor handling of parking conditions. If you do not discover that you have to buy a parking ticket on the website, you will receive a control fee. The day we were visiting, the vending machine did not work and we could not spot a sign with information about buying parking tickets on their website. Why is it not possible to purchase parking as an additional service in connection with the purchase of the entrance ticket? It seems like peasant hunting.

Very beautiful inside and exciting for both children and adults!

For children from 3-10 years, this is probably a really cool place but many older children from the age of 10 and up probably did not think it is the most amazing place

One of the best memories from my trip to Copenhagen . This is my first visit to any aquarium . And this is Europe s largest aquarium . I could spend all the day long here. Free shuttle is available between central station and the aquarium. Great attraction for kids .so beautiful with wide variety of marine creatures and they have a rain forest inside too. We can even touch and feel certain variety of fishes. There is a nice restaurant inside the aquarium with great view

The building that houses the aquarium is a beautiful example of modern style perfectly immersed in the surrounding nature. The aquarium is very beautiful, well-kept in its three areas. Perfect for families also for ease of use. The view from the restaurant offers fantastic food.

Great experience to see fish in the water and they could even swim

Really nice but for many people in relation to Corona reservations

Overall a good experience, although there are a few details that haven t worked out.

1)There is plenty of fish, but the aquarium is quite small if compared to other European ones. Fish look like they are well treated and there is a sea otter.

2)Restaurant was overall a nice experience. Service is fast and the price is fair.

3)Bathrooms are very clean.

4)The price is a little high and the parking fee was out of hand.

5)Architectonically speaking the building is amazing, and the view on the sea is gorgeous.

Great place to visit if you are in Copenhaga! Good if you have kids or if you are single, a lot of funny and interesting activities, nice staff and Coffee Shop...definitely a most see place!

Impressive large aquarium with sharks etc. There is also a good playground outside for children who need a little more action

Good place for kids and first timers, if u already visited Singapore and Hong Kong then that is not a great place.

Will never come again. It looks great, but you've seen it all in one hour. They advertise that there are enough activities for children for a full day getaway, but it was so boring that the kids did not care to be there. In short, it is totally overrated at ridiculously high prices!

Worth a visit! There was practically nothing to complain about, the giant aquarium and the 1: 1 great white shark that is not forgotten.

Very nice aquarium with playful sea otters. Check feeding times on their website before you go. If you can, visit the place during the week as it is quite crowded during holidays or weekends.

Big, with lots of fish. It was my first time in a big acquarium.

Some really beautiful exhibitions, especially the large shark tank. It's a massive window.
We attended the feeding of the fish in the shark tank, it was a bit of a disappointment I had expected a bit more of that.
The actual feeding was over in in a few seconds. Also the guide only spoke danish.
Even for me that speaks swedish it was difficult to cope with what she was explaining about the fishes in the tank.
Apart from that the rest of the exhibitions have textual explanations in danish, swedish and english.
If you have the "Copenhagen Card" the entrance is free making worthwhile to go here.

Nice activity to do near Copenhagen! Just a little expensive for the size of the complex :(

If you have the least interest in aquariums and fish - then this is the place!
Here are very small fish and they are also very big. It's an amazing experience to visit and can only be recommended :-) :-)

Fantastic experience. Lots of fiiiiiine underwater animals.
Super good with clap basin

It's peaceful, exciting & surprising species of lakes, rivers and ocean. Beautiful.

Fantastic aquarium environments. Shows and info are included. Good restaurant. Well worth a visit.

Positioned very close to the airport so perfect to combine with the arrival or departure of your visit/holiday. Free shuttle bus to/from airport. A cool modern building with some huge aquariums, a tunnel and an interesting rainforest section. Feeding the sea otters is a highlight. Get there early for this programmed event or you won't get a seat. Don't sit on the front row you will see more slightly further up the ranked seats. Nice restaurant. Helpful staff. Entrance free with a Copenhagen Card and no extra charges inside. Signage/info in Danish and English. Great family day out.

Denmark's largest tourist trap, expensive expensive expensive. Can be recommended to try sometime so you can then go home disappointed, their large aquarium is nice and their little amazon department. But here you pay more for an architect designed building an animals and experiences, a trip in the Kattegat center or randers rainforest for the blue planet to seem like a boring school trip where you had to be dragged through to be able to write a biology assignment. What a disappointment and what expensive it is. The otter is sweet, but they don't have too much space.

Incredibly exciting place when interested in sea and water habitats.
Great place to visit for yourself and with grandchildren. Really well organized with timesloth in Corona times.

Nice aquarium but too crowded in high season. It's probably smart to go there in low season, so you can watch everything without having to be pushed with hundreds of others.

I saw a shark eating one of the other fish. It did not seem that it was supposed to be immediately when the staff were busy.

The layout is good, the place clean with locker facilities, picnic area, and friendly staff.
