Category: freshwater and marine aquarium

A unique year-round exhibition spanning 500 m² with more than 30 aquariums in the basement of Wellness Hotel Frymburk on the shores of Lipno. Visitors explore 8 marine and 18 freshwater aquariums – the largest holding 35,000 litres – and see fish from Czech waters, piranhas, Amazonian stingrays, coral reefs, and terrariums with reptiles. The exhibition includes a 3D projection, an Amazonia display with an artificial waterfall, and a touch pool for children.

Why visit this place?

• The first ideas came up in 2016 in cooperation with the sea diver, director and cameraman Steven Lichtag.
• The move was forced by the loss of the rented premises on Prague's Old Town Square, where most of the tanks used to stand.
• More than 1,000 people have left a Google review here, making it one of the most visited places on the map.
• The exhibition is interactive — it expects you to touch the exhibits and try them out.
• Allow roughly an hour and a quarter; the programme is aimed at every age group from preschool to secondary school.
• There are 25 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
