Water is our most valuable natural treasure. Its entire life depends on its resources. On January 11-26 we will sail with the current of rivers, to the seas and oceans, which attract with silence and phenomenal beauty. Winter holidays in the Gdynia Aquarium were organized into a program from Monday to Friday, and special events taking place on Saturdays and Sundays. On the weekdays there will be a permanent exhibition with guides, a research laboratory created for the Atlantic sea creatures, fauna in a truly artistic edition, a combination of the magic of the great blue with the magic of the silver screen, and science and fun bringing knowledge of nature. One of our priorities are educational activities, which is why on weekends we have prepared a special map of visiting the exhibition and a documentary film for the conscious viewer. The map is on the one hand a diary of travels around the world, and on the other meditation on our planet. There are many reasons for us to meet at the Gdynia Aquarium this summer.
Monday – Friday

Raiders of the Lost Ark – a zoo-puzzle game for entire families. The action of our game is set in the exhibition and begins in Peru.
