Since 1998, the Atlanterhavsparken Foundation has been one of Northern Europe’s largest and most unique saltwater aquariums. In 2021, we also established Norway’s first science centre with a marine profile. A visit to the aquarium and science centre gives young and old alike a genuine, engaging and educational experience through participation, wonder and interactive activities. Get up close and personal with life under the ocean in our spectacular showcase for the Norwegian coast and the Atlantic Ocean.

Along the Norwegian coast
The aquarium is an architectural gem, located in the middle of the spectacular nature at Tueneset, 3 km from Ålesund city center. Overlooking the open sea, the rich fishing grounds and the deep Norwegian fjords, here you can observe, experience and learn about marine life as nature intended. Every day, we provide real experiences in real surroundings to our more than 200,000 annual visitors.

The café and the souvenir shop are open every day.
