Fisheries and Maritime Museum Esbjerg

The Fisheries and Maritime Museum/Saltwater Aquarium in Esbjerg opened in 1968. A modernized sealarium opened in 2013, and a new Wadden Sea Pavilion opened in 2014.In the sealarium, renovated in 2013, you can experience seals in their natural environment through large underwater panels. During daily feedings at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., you can get up close to the animals. While they are being trained and fed from the beach, you'll hear stories and interesting facts about the seals.In the Wadden Sea exhibition, you'll see beautiful birds—avocets and numerous ducks—with a close connection to the Wadden Sea.
In the upper part of the pavilion, there's an enclosure with live birds—eiders, shelducks, wigeons, and avocets. Through underwater panels, you can watch the eiders diving.
A 12-meter-long interactive wall presents the Wadden Sea's most characteristic animals. There are also specially designed aquariums with some of the smaller animal species found in the mudflats. You can test your knowledge of the Wadden Sea on the iPads provided.During your tour of the saltwater aquarium, you will encounter almost all fish species native to Danish waters.
The fish in the large, round tank in the middle of the hall are for touching.
Here you will find sharks, rays, and flatfish, for example.
The large aquarium – the oceanarium in the background – contains approximately 100,000 liters of saltwater. Here you will see, for example, cat sharks, thornback rays, halibut, conger eels, gilthead bream, and sea trout.
The museum also features a permanent fishing exhibition, the maritime exhibition "Wadden Sea and the World Ocean," and an open-air exhibition that showcases what coastal fishing villages, small harbors, and wooden shipyards looked like around World War II.The museum café serves meals, hot and cold dishes, beverages, coffee, tea,
and cakes.Tables and benches are also available in the open-air exhibition where you can eat your own food.Opening hours and admission prices can be found here:blavandstrand.de/erlebnisse/attraktionen/fischerei-und-seefahrtsmuseum

The museum is particularly worthwhile for families with children, as children have free entry. In addition to beautiful themed exhibitions, a café and the gray seals (including show feeding), there are also two very exciting playgrounds. You can easily spend half a day in the museum. It is also nice that you can leave the museum in between and enter it again later, e.g. to go to the car or to the beach.
