The Gdynia Aquarium is one of the largest facilities of this type in the country, having the longest traditions associated with the collection and display of aquatic fauna and flora. As it belongs to the structures of the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, which is the oldest unit dealing with marine research in Poland, the Aquarium not only presents interesting specimens, but also provides scientific knowledge about water fauna.

At the Gdynia Aquarium, which has had the status of a zoo since 2005, four main biotopes occurring in the world are presented: coral reef, ocean depth, dense tropics of the Amazon and the Baltic Sea. Their inhabitants can be found over three floors of the building, located in 68 exhibition aquariums. The capacity of the tanks ranges from 200 to 10,000 liters, which contains more than 1,500 living organisms from about 250 species. Meet our residents!
